Leading Aircraftman, Gordon Lamont MacKenzie was the only son of Thomas MacKenzie and Dorothy MacKenzie, of North Vancouver. While in training at RCAF No. 3 Service Flying Training School, Calgary, Alberta, Leading Aircraftman MacKenzie was killed in a flying accident north west of the airbase while on a routine night solo training flight at 23:10 hours on May 6, 1943. Evidence at the Court of Inquiry warranted an inference of failure of the starboard engine with insufficient height of the aircraft (Crane I 8166) to enable recovery.
