[Garry Shipton (RIP)]

Cletrac's right.There's a copy of this traiming accident in the book "The Lancaster at War" that I have.An older friend named Charlie Chartrand originally from Ottawa told me a couple of stories when he was training wireless radio operators in Ansons out in Saskatchewan.When using radio,they'd trail a wire out of the aircraft.His pilot liked to fly low.Many times they'd return to base still trailing the wire with tree branches intertwined on the aerial wire.Also when they'd be up training crews on Fridays,they'd suddenly have engine trouble wherein they'd wire the base,then make emergency landings across the US border,then spend the weekend boozing it up and chasing women in the local town while groundcrews looked for the mysterious engine problems
