There are few details available from initial reports but Canadian officials are investigating how a Lake Buccaneer and a Piper Cherokee came together near the tiny town of St. Brieux, Saskatchewan (population 492) on Saturday, killing both occupants of the Buc and all three on the Cherokee. St. Brieux is a small rural community about 125 miles northeast of the nearest large town, Saskatoon. St. Brieux has an airport, however, and that’s where the Cherokee was headed. Initial reports said the collision occurred near the airport.

An early model RAF Curtis P-40 Kittyhawk (Warhawk) wearing markings from the 260 Squadron and likely lost in 1942 was found last month largely in tact in western Egypt’s Al Wadi al Jadid desert. The aircraft has been photographed sitting on its belly with the canopy nearly closed. It is suspected to be that of Flight Sergeant Dennis Copping who went missing while ferrying a damaged Kittyhawk with markings “HS-B.” If so, it could be associated also with Canadian ace James Francis “Stocky” Edwards. The aircraft’s resting place is 200 miles from the nearest town and no evidence of the pilot’s remains have been found. A museum may now attempt to recover the aircraft, but there are complications.

The first three months of 2012 saw total billings for aircraft fall eight percent, according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), but piston-powered airplane shipments dropped by a smaller margin. Piston aircraft shipments totaled 184 units for the first three months of 2012, versus 188 shipments over the same period last year. The figures account for a 2.1 percent decrease that matched the decrease in total worldwide general aviation shipments. GAMA president and CEO, Pete Bunce offered a theory and some legislative advice.
