Curtiss C-46 Commando registered XT-546 was damaged beyond repair in an accident due to engine breakdown. There were no casualties.
CEBHR (1997) recorded the location as "Yangwu Village, Cangnan County, Guangdong (20 miles NE of Baiyun Airport)".
This makes no sense in that a Cangnan County did not exist in Guangdong Province. Although on today's maps there are a few villages named Yangwu in Guangdong, none of them are located 20 miles NE of Baiyun Airport.
