An Avro Anson and crew of 4 missing since 1942 found by logging crew near Port Renfrew.
A Second World War training aircraft and the remains of four airmen who went missing in 1942 have been recovered from a remote logging site on Vancouver Island.
The Avro Anson aircraft went missing on Oct. 30, 1942, after it left the air force base at Patricia Bay in Sidney on a navigational training flight.
After the aircraft failed to return to the base as planned, searches failed to locate any wreckage.
Last October, a logging crew working for Teal-Jones Cedar Products on a remote mountainside on the west coast of Vancouver Island near Port Renfrew came upon the wreckage.
