Incident
On an unspecified date, a float-equipped de Havilland Beaver departed Port Hardy at 0925 local time on a mail flight destined for Millbrook Cove and other remote areas. The pilot was the sole occupant. The aircraft failed to arrive at its destination, prompting search and rescue operations.
Search and Recovery
Search and rescue efforts were conducted but eventually suspended a few days later when no trace of the aircraft or the pilot was found. On 16 June 1970, a partly burnt fuel gauge was discovered in the region of Bull Harbour. Investigators believe this component originated from the missing airplane.
Investigation
No official probable cause has been determined for the disappearance, as the wreckage has never been located. The investigation remains open.
