Trout Lake, Longford, near Orillia, Ontario: After picking up a passenger Junior Windover from a hunting camp at Big Trout Lake, the aircraft crashed on take-off from water. Pilot Sam H. Howe saw passenger holding on to a wing float, but he then disappeared. Howe was unable to find him again and then swam 50 feet to shore where he collapsed. Dr. Walter H. Woodrow landed his private seaplane at the scene and took Howe to Longford Reserve Lodge, from where he was taken by ambulance to Orillia Soldiers' Memorial Hospital. The body of passenger Junior Windover (20 years old from Minden) was recovered next day. [Canadian CAR Files # 5002-230 / 5802-6169, "The Bracebridge Gazette", November 24th, 1949]. |
