Hello All,
I am trying to find out more about an exercise that took place in June 1945, in which Cpt. Robert Walton Hardy, 32, a member of the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, was killed by a low-flying Harvard. I have details on the RCAF pilot (F/Lt. J. W. Frizelle) who was in a Harvard and was killed in a subsequent crash six miles away (location named is 6mi northeast of Sherwood Springs) but there is some confusion about where this actually took place as Sherwood Springs appears to be near Brockville. He was from No. 14 SFTS in Aylmer but the plane was listed as attached to No. 1 SFTS at the time.
Hardy was apparently standing on top of a transport at the time he was hit by the plane's wing.
Can anyone tell me more about this exercise, where it took place and what kind and which troops were involved?
Thanks.
