Narrative:The CF-100, operated by No. 3 AW(F) Operational Training Unit had just landed when the starboard main undercarriage collapsed. The aircraft left the runway and carried onto the ramp where it clipped a C-45 Expeditor (2319) and then smashed into a B-25 Mitchell (5256), both aircraft bursting into flames. The two crew, pilot F/O R.C. Bedard and aircraft technician, Cpl P.J. Ardley, were killed instantly.
