    A funeral service will be held here, tentatively on Friday for

    A Twin Otter 440 search aircraft from CFB Edmonton found the plane at 3:15 near Heisler, about 50 km N. of Castor.

    Capt. Hummel said there was no indication at the site of the cause of the crash. The aircraft went down in flat, farming terrain, mixed with patches of trees. 2 search and rescue aircraft put in about 16 hours of flying time said Capt. Hummel.
    Mr. Wilkie was piloting his Cessna 182, returning from a business trip to Edmonton for his firm E&R Electric Ltd. Of Castor.
    Capt. Hummel said the federal transport dept. will investigate the crash.
