An observer, taking a cautious, quick glimpse over the rim of his goggles, quickly put them back on,

AIR COLLISION

WINNIPEG t,CP) -Six airmen, four of them student navigators. died in a scorched tangle of metal Friday after their planes collided in midair and plunged in A slow spin to the ground.

The twin-engined RCAF Exped- lters carried the men to their deaths in a farm field six miles southwest of Winnipeg as they circled in a low, wide arc min- utes before coming in for a land- ing at Stevenson field.

A pilot and two students were in each aircraft. The RCAF re- leased the names of the pilots only-F0. J. T. King. 29, of Ayr- shire, Scotland. in former RAF pilot. and F0. F. P. Coyle. 26, of Charlottetown. Three of the train- ees formerly were with the RAF while the other was a Canadian. They were studying navigation under the NATO program.

ROUTINE TRAINING FLIGHT

An air force spokesman said the planes were returning to base after a routine navigation-training flight. when they collided three miles otit at about 1.500 feet over suburban Charleswood.

The wrecks landed 150 yards apart in a plowed field and a pasture on the farm of George Coopman. Cause of the crash was unknown and a board of inquiry was set up.

No one witnessed the actual midnir collision. Adolph Coopman, 33, George's brother, was harrow- ing the field with a tractor 400

He unhitched the barrow and ran to phone police. Then h drove the tractor to the twisted wreckage.

BODIES THROWN CLEAR

"The flames were shooting high Into the air. I couldn't get close. There wasn't a chance of saving anyone by this time. Two badly- burned bodies were thrown clear of the flames. I could see some bodies inside the planes."

The sky was clear and bright with evening sunshine when the alcraft collided. They were not flying in formation.
