tix Hour Search For Downed Aircraft Being Treated As Hoax
The Lucknow area was the scene
of a systematic search effort late
Friday afternoon and early Friday
evening when it was believed that a'
light plane had come down in the
area,
Ken Hargreaves of Ripley, while'
leaving the LucknoW Service Cen-
tre, the local BP Station operated
by Bob and Lynn Peck, 'heard the,
call for help op his Citizen Band
radici, He alerted Mrs. Peck, who
had also heard portions of. the distress call, but not enough to be ,certain of the problem.
Lynn alerted the OntatiO Provin-
cial Police and members , of the
Lucknow CB Club, Club 11. The ,
distress message was to the ,effect
that an aircraft was down, about
three miles east of LticknoW and
just off the highway, and that the
pilot was injured and in need of
help.
• The local CB Club, which has as
its .president Wayne jeroine of
Ashfield. Township, responded in a
very creditable way and 'in short
time, up to 20 cars were On the
• ttael, equipped with 'CB radios, and
directed by the Ontario Provincial
Police which had set up head-
quarters at the Peck, service
station.
In addition, CB members from,
'the Wingham Club and others in a
wide area around Lucknow, respon-
ded to the emergency situation'. •
Two other individuals, one 'a',
trucker passing through Lucknow,
had heard the distress call as well.
Airports at Wingham, Kincard;
,ine and Goderich were checked for
missing aircraft but non was
reported. Planes, from 'these
airports joined in the search.
Initially, the search centred" in
the area south-bast and north-east
of Lucknow, with tie,' results.
Later a concession by concession
detailed search, was made by CB
club' members, talking to 'farmers
and anyone whO may have sighted
a plane in trouble, but, while the
odd lead cropped' up here and
there, nothing concrete resulted.
The search lasted over-six hours,
until about nightfall, when was
officially called off by the police,
Before the search was called off,
police , checked with. all airpOrts•
within a 100 miles radius of
Lucknow, with no planes reporting
missing.
The incident is being treated .as a
hoax. but a rather "sick humour" it
is that would take men away 'from
their einployment and businesses
to voluntarily offer their assistance.
It does, however, pCint out the
fact that the local Citizen Band
radio club is ready, willing and very
capable of assisting in' emergencies
Such as the one on Friday. •
