In 2005, after a 30-year search, the remains of an aircraft that had become known as “The Ghost of Charron Lake” were spotted at the bottom of the northeastern Manitoba lake on a sonar scan. The complete skeleton was intact, it was still upright on the wooden skis (which were perfectly preserved), the engine still turned over, and the prop looked like new. The discovery received global media attention. In 2010 the “Ghost” was retrieved and delivered to the museum.
