“Hidden deep in the rainforest near Tofino lies the wreckage of RCAF Canso 11007 — a WWII bomber that crash-landed on February 8, 1945. Armed with depth charges and on patrol against enemy submarines, its final flight ended abruptly just minutes after takeoff. Today, the graffiti-covered remains rest quietly in Pacific Rim National Park, a haunting reminder of Vancouver Island’s wartime history and a hike that blends mystery, history, and adventure.”
