"Peace River Pilot Locates Wreckage of Long-lost Plane Wreckage of an ambulance plane which carried three persons to their death late last November was found this week by a Peace River pilot, barely a mile off the main air route between here and Edmonton near Whitecourt. Object of the most intensive air and ground search ever conducted in the area, the plane disappeared Sunday night, November 22, on a flight between Grande Prairie and Edmonton. Aboard the plane were Dr. Don Wilson, who was born in Grande Prairie and received his early education at Berwyn, pilot Gordon McDonald of Wanham, and polio patient Lloyd Williams of Edmonton. Last chapter in the tragic search which brought scores of planes into action, was written this week with the spotting of the wreckage three miles north of Whitecourt, by George Andrew of Peace River. Returning from Edmonton early this week with Dr. E.W. Bissel of Manning as passenger, Mr. Andrew spotted what he believed to be wreckage. He said he circled the spot a couple of times to fix its location in relation to Whitecourt. Weather was overcast and raining at the time. On his landing at Peace River, Mr. Andrew notified Search and Rescue headquarters in Edmonton that he believed he had located the wreckage.....Out to check the report found the wreckage without difficulty."
