Canadian Vickers Stranraer

Shortly after takeoff from Sovereign Lake, the seaplane struck trees and crashed in flames in a wooded area. All four occupants were killed.

Crashed in unknown circumstances, killing both crew members.

Caught fire and sank off Vancouver Island enroute to Forward Harbour. After it went to a halt, all four occupants were able to evacuate.

On approach to Prince Rupert, the crew encountered poor visibility with fog and lost control of the aircraft that crashed into the Chatham Sound. The aircraft christened 'Skeena Queen' was lost and all seven occupants were killed.

The airplane was returning to base at Ucluelet following a patrol operation with only one engine operating. As it could not maintain height, it crashed in a dense wooded area located half a mile south of the airbase, bursting into flames. Four crew members were killed and four others were slightly injured.

The seaplane departed Patricia Bay on a reconnaissance patrol mission. The pilot apparently endeavored to effect a landing on exceeding water off Nanoose Bay. The left wing tip apparently dropped and came in contact with a large wave causing the aircraft to slew violently to the left and force the nose into the water crashing the forward part of the hull and breaking all cockpit windows. The aircraft then sank nose first in approximately four minutes. Wing tip and tailplane only visible during this period of time. All eight crew members were killed and the body of the pilot was found four days later.

The crew was performing a flight from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, to Patricia Bay, British Columbia, with an intermediate stop in Penticton. The seaplane departed Penticton seaplane base at 1026LT. Few minutes after his departure, the radio operator informed ground about his ETA in Patricia Bay at 1300LT. At 1400LT, the crew changed his frequency and informed ground about his position north of Vancouver, flying in very bad weather conditions with snow falls. As the airplane failed to arrive in Patricia Bay, SAR operations were initiated but eventually suspended few days later as no trace of the aircraft nor the crew was found. Six years later, walkers found the wreckage on Mt Baldwin (1,427 metres high) located 10 km southeast of Squamish. It appears that the aircraft hit the mountain 10 metres below the summit. All five crewmen were killed.
