Re: Canadian aircraft accidents

According to the papers, Dreschler & Mathisen were flying T-33.
newspaperarchive.com/ca/manitoba/winnipeg/winnipeg-free-press/1955/07-26/page-2
Pte. T. R. Dreschler, 21, Norway, killed 29 March 1955 northwest of Gypsumville. Gimli-based.
2nd. Lieut. H. Steen Mathison, 22, Norway, killed near Libau 12 April 1955. Gimli- based.
In fact probably Canadair CT-133 Silver Star Mk 3, serials 21001 to 21656, renumbered 133001 to 133656 at the end of the 60's (for the surviving a/c).
