Low-flying Catalina

[Garry Shipton (RIP)]

Coincedence AL.It was on the local news at noon hour.Today's the anniversary.A newsman was up in Blainville today at ground zero where the 118 people died.It's a quiet modern residential street now.The swamp is gone and there's a plaque in an adjacent park with all 118 names on it.Also a coincedence,my brother,serving as a navigator with 426 Squadron at Dorval,was called out that evening to be on a North Star,searching for the jet..To this day,because the DC-8 had no black box,they've never found the cause of the crash but still suspect the vertical gyroscope.I still remember the date.Wewere supposed to get together at my mom's house for supper with my brother and his wife.She called my mom to tell her about my brother being called out on a search.
