Note: CF-FHA crashed into a rock face near the bottom of a cirque. The first season it was hauling fuel to Army Survey camps where Kenting Hiller 360s were operating . The aircraft later disappeared with a geologist or prospecting crew. The search lasted a long time. The wreck was discovered when an Army Survey crew member recalled seeing a bright flash on a distant mountain peak . The RCAF flew a S-51 out to the Canol Pipeline Road to investigate but the helicopter went u/s. An S-55 was used to reach the site and bring the bodies out.
