IDENTIFY' CRASHED PLANE Positive identification ,.of aircraft involved in the four - fatality ,crash, near Clinton, Sunday afternoon, was establi• shed by two members of the staff at ,Sky Harbour Air Ser vices. Called by Dr. J. A. Addison, Clintan,' seeking assistance in the matter of identification, John Hopkinson 'and Donald Iiisher, both qualified -pilots at the lode' field, contacted the local O.P.P. detachment and offered their services. Sergeant Harry Barker responded by picking up the two men in his cruiser and rushing them down to the crash scene. Although sdmewhat upset by the fact that the four bod- ies still were in the plane, John and Don searched ' the wreck- age and found. sufficient frag- ments to identify the plane aa a red Piper IM-PaCer. Purther, •search revealed' the -Setiat number , ant104. capacity of the engine, from which the lOtat pilots Were able to apprOxl. Mate ,the *Otte airport of tlitt eraft. " f011owing a brief ieried 01 elimination, Wallaceburg was contacted and reported a plane of that description as having cleared earlier the °same morn- ing. Subsequent enquiries by the owners of the rented plane, Seneca Airways, revealed the name of Raymond J. Sparks, as hiving rented the 'craft and cleared from the Wallaceburg airport. The process of identification is -all the more commendable considering that a piece of the "prop spinner," a' small (rag- - ment of the door panelling and the number on the 'black- ened engirlo, were all the clues available to the two searchers.
