Burial/memorial information
Flight Lieutenant Allison attended Loyola High School in Montreal before moving onto McGill University where he studied commerce. He also worked at General Motors. It was said he had a passion for flying and belonged to a gliding club. On his bureau sat a small plane that he carved.
The RCAF crew took off from the Stratford-upon-Avon airfield on a night training mission. Shortly before 9:00 p.m. the crew radioed that they were having trouble with the starboard engine. Minutes after they received permission to drop below cloud cover the MF 509 aircraft slammed into the terraced southwest face of Carreg Goch in the Brecon Beacons mountains in Wales. The cause of the crash was listed as pilot error.
