Quebec

On approach to Le Havre-Saint-Pierre, the pilot was unable to locate the airport due to low visibility caused by foggy conditions. He decided to continue to the east but was eventually forced to attempt an emergency landing in a muskeg area. Nobody was injured but the single engine airplane was damaged beyond repair.

Crash landed at Quebec-Ancienne Lorette Airport. There were no casualties but the aircraft was written off.

Shortly after takeoff from Montreal-Saint-Hubert Airport, while in initial climb, the crew did not realize his altitude was insufficient due to low visibility caused by mist and rain falls. The twin engine aircraft hit tree tops and crashed on the slope of Mt Saint-Bruno located about 8 km northeast of the airport. A passenger was injured while six other occupants were killed.
Crew:
F/O Vernon Clifford Murray,
F/O Frederick James Kane.

Crash landed for unknown reason. There were no casualties.

The aircraft took off from St Johns municipal Airport, on a ferry flight to Toronto via Montreal. Near Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, it was noticed that the propellers were not synchronized. Shortly after the port engine lost power and there was indication of fluctuating fuel pressure. On checking the port engine cylinder head temperature, the instrument read 'full hot'. Power was reduced and the ATC at Montreal cleared the aircraft for landing. Approximately 2 miles west of the airport, at an altitude of 1,000 feet, flames were seen coming out of the cowling behind the firewall of the port engine. An attempt to feather the engine was made and the ignition was turned off. The fire extinguisher lever was pulled with no result. Clearance was obtained for emergency landing on runway 10 and a normal flaps-up landing was made. The brakes were inoperative during the landing roll and the aircraft was steered onto the grass area of the runway. The fuel shut-off valves were not turned off when the pilot and co-pilot abandoned the aircraft. The aircraft was destroyed by fire.

The crew left Summerside on a training flight to Goose Bay. While approach Goose Bay Airport, the crew circled the tower and radioed his intent to return to Summerside. As the aircraft failed to return to its home base, SAR operations were conducted and the wreckage was found five days later, on May 19, in an isolated area located about 65 km north of Saint-Augustin. The aircraft was destroyed and all four crew members were killed.
Crew:
F/O Joseph Rodier, pilot,
F/O Owen Foster, copilot,
Cad Frank Smith, navigator,
Cad Gerald Higgins.

On approach to Senneterre, the pilot did not realize that his altitude was too low. The seaplane hit tree tops, causing the float to be sheared off. The aircraft stalled and crashed. There were nos casualties.

Crashed in unknown circumstances into the Toro Lake, about 93 km west of Saint-Félicien. All five occupants were killed.

The aircraft left Quebec-Ancienne Lorette Airport at 1020LT, five minutes behind the scheduled time. Twenty-five minutes later, while cruising above the St Laurent River along the coast of the 'non organized' territory of Sault-au-Cochon, the aircraft exploded, dove into the ground and crashed in a wooded area located northeast of Saint Joachim, about 65 km northeast of the city of Quebec. The aircraft was destroyed by impact forces and all 23 occupants were killed. It was quickly determined that the disintegration of the aircraft was caused by the explosion of a bomb placed in the front left cargo compartment. Prepared by Généreux Ruest, the bomb was composed by dynamite, was connected to a clockwork and was powered by a pocket lamp battery. Généreux Ruest and his sister Marguerite Pitre were partner in crime of Albert Guay who contracted a life insurance (10,000 Canadian dollars) for his wife who was on board the aircraft. In trouble with his wife, Albert Guay organized her assassination and put himself the bomb in his wife's luggage. She was killed in the crash with 22 other people. Albert Guay, Généreux Ruest and Marguerite Pitre were convicted of assassination and were executed by hanging respectively on January 21, 1951, July 25, 1952 and January 9, 1953.

Crashed in unknown circumstances into the Osisko Lake located in Rouyn-Noranda. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
