Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

Operated by the Department of Transport, the aircraft was engaged in a calibration flight at Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu Airport, Quebec. While in initial climb, the left engine failed, followed shortly later by the right engine. The crew attempted a belly landing in a field near the airport. The aircraft came to rest and was written off while all three occupants were uninjured.

The twin engine airplane departed Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu Airfield on an aerial photography exercise with four people on board. While flying north of the city, the airplane collided with a second RCAF Anson registered 6650 that was carrying one pilot who was performing a local post maintenance flight. Following the midair collision, both airplanes dove into the ground and crashed 5 km south of Chambly. All five occupants in both airplanes were killed.
