A note on CF-GAR
The number of working Stearmans is slowly diminishing. General Airspray Stearman CF-GAR was destroyed in an accident on May 27, 1967, in Franklin, Quebec, after it failed to maintain flying speed after an initial climb and stalled into trees. Pilot E.L. Stenton was not injured. [Dept. of Transport accident card]
