Seekers of Gold readers
may already know about the B-25 Bomber that was rumored to be carrying
a large quantity of gold, according to a story that was started by the
discovery of a mysterious newspaper article that I have never been able
to find at the Vancouver Public Library. The article dates back to the
1950s about a B-25 Bomber that crashed somewhere north of Maple Ridge
carrying a large shipment of gold bullion that came from a air force base
outside of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The B-25 bomber had been converted
into a cargo plane by the Canadian Military after WWII for the soul purpose
of carrying valuable Military cargo.
There are a few theories as to where the gold itself came from before it was loaded onto the plane. Due to new evidence revealed by a secret source I know that Nazi gold discovered by the Canadian Military after the fall of Berlin during WWII recovered from the basement of an old church and shipped back to Canada and in 1953 it found it's way on to the B25 Bomber that crashed near Spindle. Documents that I was able to find during the research of this treasure lead confirm the fact that government located the wreck and removed the bodies of the dead pilots, as well as any cargo that would have been in easy reach. But this does not mean that if there was a shipment of gold on the plane that there is nothing up there still waiting to be found. The plane was caught in a ice rainstorm when it hit the lip of Spindle Canyon, ripping open the fuselage and spilling some of the cargo across the top of the ridge as well as into Spindle Canyon. When I was in Spindle canyon we located a large piece of the wreck near the back of the canyon but never found any gold but we where not looking for it in the canyon at the time. It is also possible that it is now covered by a landslide or buried under a ton of boulders, lost forever. Only someone who is brave enough to go back there will ever learn the truth regarding the missing gold of the B-25 Bomber.
