Miss Piggy Plane Crash-003
Affectionately know as "Miss Piggy" due to it often being overloaded!
This is the wreck of a Curtiss C-46 “Commando” twin-prop cargo aircraft owned by Lamb Airways Ltd.
Widely used by the US military during the Second World War,
the plane crashed at 9:30 AM on 13 November 1979 as it attempted to return to the Churchill airport shortly after takeoff,
after the pilot reported mechanical problems with one of its engines.
The plane landed in rough terrain and was badly damaged. Three crew members were slightly injured in the crash.
