Well I'm glad my efforts are being used for discussions! Thanks Peter for the info about this board. To Clarify a few points - I recently intervied the FE who was aboard KB999 "Malton Mike" when it crashed...see my site for new KB999 crash site pics. A few months ago I intervied a 408 Squadron camera operator who crashed aboard FM216 at Resolute and have many never before seen crash site pics. FM221 was believed to still survive but I have determined that it and FM216 were crushed by a buldozer at Resolute in 1969/70, have spoken to several people in Resolute including the dozer operator - ordered by the DND no less! FM218 also crashed several weeks later (the 3rd Lanc) and no longer exists. About 3 months ago I heard there was a Lanc in Hall Beach, NWT..a travel web site article substantiated this info, however it turned out to be an Avro York that survives mainly intact less engines and instrumentation. Cheers folks!
