| Post subject: | deHavilland Beaver Down Near Ottawa |
There was a report this morning on the local CBC radio station that a deHavilland Beaver crashed in the Ottawa River yesterday near Ottawa. Apparently the wreck was found by spotting the floats first. I didn't get the pilots name, but he IS NOT Michael Potter (that is the only person I know in the area with a Beaver, not that I would know many anyway). Unfortunately the pilot did not survive. I will post more if I hear more. Mike |

We feared it was Mike Potter as he also owns a Beaver. So sad to hear. Eric |
