Hi John,
Thanks for the reply & serial, I will see what else i can find.
Google gives the grid location as nr kingsway in burnaby, so the crash record location might be wrong, as Lynn valley is on the north shore.
cheers

just googled AK952, only hit was
13 June 1942 18:15 Flt Sgt Roy Stone (RAF) in AK952 killed in action, shot down by Hans-Joachim Marseille near El Adem/Gazala.

seems this might be a bit hard to solve ?

it gets stranger i can only find Beaufort L7911 Struck trees attempting a force land in fog near Vancouver University for this date.

cheers
Jerry
