Although most of it is hidden by about 1 meter of snow, this photo, taken early April 2006, is proof that the wing of C-82A Packet 48-572 and the torn off #1 engine still lie at Isachsen, almost 57 years after this aircraft crashed there on take-off. This photo makes a nice comparison with the one taken by Merlin Mac Auley almost 50 years earlier, in 1958. Photo by WO Ed Patten, First Canadian Ranger Patrol Group. |
