There was also a T-33 crash on the hills between Indian Harbour and Peggy’s Cove. The pilot was killed. I remember the military had quite a job finding a way into the crash site for the bulldozers used to bury what remained of the aircraft.

I ditched a Lysander on Aug. 11, 1943 while flying solo from the Fleet Air Arm station at Yarmouth, NS, into Lake Barrios, about 40 miles NE of Yarmouth.

I am trying to find a newspaper article about a T-33 that disappeared over the Gulf of Maine in 1960-62. A former controller at Shearwater related how two RCAF T-33s went into a cloud over the Gulf of Maine while returning from Pensacola, Florida. Only one came out and was never found.
BTW-the possible reason you know about the Oct. 4, 1967 ‘crash’ in Shag Harbour is because of the book Chris Styles and myself wrote called Dark Object that triggered renewed interest in the event.

BTW- to Ray Snair a twin engined aircraft landed on the mud flats on the Avon River near Windsor in either the late 80s or early 90s.

I happened upon this site accidentally.
After moving to Windsor, Hants County, in 1969 I was made aware of three plane crashes that had happened in the area.
1) At Ardoise near trunk 1 between Windsor and Halifax. I believe that the small plane had hit a guy wire of a communications tower.
2) Near the New Cheverie Road between Center Burlington and Cheverie
3) On the Avon River mudflats at or near Windsor. The pilot was James Campbell now living in Dartmouth, formerly RCAF, and he had 1 passenger.
I believe that 3) took place in 1950′s and 1) and 2) in 1960′s
