The crash site

I was hiking across the fields at HCMS Quadra when I came across an air plane crash site with the remains of what was once a pretty little Piper Cherokee.

This was in March 2014 – a bit of snow on the hills and just a few traces on the ground.

This portion of land is known as the Goose Spit Training Area, and is often used by Canadian Forces Search and Rescue Technicians for medical training exercises.

I returned in June of 2014, and discovered that the air plane had been replaced with this one that was larger, and marked with a fictitious aircraft registration.
