Plane Crash - 1943
Airplane crash on Valentine's Day (Feb.
14), 1943, near Dartmouth, N.S. William "Hector" Thompson was
one of "4 men" who died that day and the crash site was not discovered
until maybe a year and a half later.
More information - Hector Thompson was based in Gander,
NF., in charge of land operation communications. Gander
played two very important wartime roles. It was "The" major airport
joining Europe to North America and most military traffic passed through
it either coming or going and has continued in that capacity to this day.
During the war, Gander
was also a busy base for the Atlantic patrol and it was from there that
submarine patrols flew over the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The plane Hector was
in was a Hudson bomber and today, a google search revealed it could be used
for low level bombing (as low as 50 feet), which would make it ideal
for submarine "search and destroy" missions.
On
February 14, 1943, a navigational training flight took
off from Torbay, Newfoundland (north of St. John's). The crew included Pilot
Officer Thomas Watterson, from Manotick, Ontario (10 mi. south
of Ottawa), Flight
Sgt. Robert Rolfe of Huntingdon, Quebec, and W/O James R.
Stick of St. John's, Newfoundland.
There were three passengers: W. Hector Thompson, Madoc,
Ontario, John
Hook, Brockville, Ontario (his parents lived in Bridgeport, CT.),
and a Lt.
Snell of the U.S. Army. Hector was on his way to a convention in Halifax
and planned to take leave to see his wife and three children in Ottawa after
the conference. When the plane failed to land at the air force base airport
in Dartmouth, they were reported missing and were later declared dead. Twenty-one
months later, on November 6, 1944, the crash site with "6 skeletons" was
discovered by a hunting party a mere 11 miles from the airport. With the
exception of Lt. Snell, the others are listed on the website of the Commonwealth
War Graves Commission. http://www.cwgc.org/
John
Hook and James Stick are buried in Mount Hermon Cemetery in Dartmouth.
Robert Rolfe, Hector Thompson and Thomas Watterson were returned to their
homes for burial (Watterson is buried near Manotick at Kars, Ontario).
