Former Pakistan Air Force and SAFE Air - Straits Air Freight Express Bristol Freighter was bought by Trans - Provincial Airlines in 1989 to service the Snip Gold mine in and out of Bronson Creek, BC. The aircraft was bought by Hawkair Aviation in 1994 after TPA's bankruptcy in 1993. On April 24, 1997 C-FTPA ground looped on landing at Bronson Creek, collapsing the right main gear and crushing the fuselage when it went into a ditch. Serviceable parts were removed and the remains buried on site. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
