I was talking to an old manager about this crash, and he said it was probably still in the woods. I wanted to go find it based on the coordinates that are plugged into the Google map at the Aviation Safety Network http://aviation-safety.net/database/rec ... 19650317-2.Eastern Provincial Flight 102 departed Moncton at 06:35 on a flight to Torbay with several intermediate stops. The Herald departed Halifax's runway 33 at 09:10 and was instructed to turn right and climb to FL130. While climbing through FL120 the underfloor fuselage skin ruptured. It opened up sufficiently to be contacted by one of the propellers. Disruption of the structure and subsequent progressive separation of the nose and front fuselage resulted in failures of the control levers. Separation of the remaining empennage and the aft section of the fuselage followed instantaneously. The debris came down in heavily wooded rolling terrain.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "Failure of corroded skin area along the bottom centre line of the aircraft beneath stringer No.32 which resulted in structural failure of the fuselage and aerial disintegration." - Aviation Safety Network
I was wondering if anyone had any more info about the crash, and whether it would be worth a romp in the woods. I'd like to get some topo maps and aerial photos and go seek this out. The google maps location states that it's the exact location based on the information from the original report.
