What happened
A twin-engine airplane departed RCAF Camp Borden for a scheduled training mission. The aircraft was carrying a crew of four individuals. While maintaining formation with another unit, the plane struck a second Avro Anson, which carried a registration of N9652 and had three crew members on board.
The impact caused both airframes to lose control immediately after the collision. Both aircraft descended rapidly and impacted the ground in an open field located in Bond Head. The crash resulted in fatal injuries for everyone on board, killing all seven personnel across the two planes.
