The Great Northern Airways Fairchild F27 was flying a scheduled service from Yellowknife toward Sherrard Bay. Strong winds made a landing at Sherrard Bay impossible, so the crew diverted to Resolute Bay, where both engines failed on final approach. The aircraft belly landed short of the airfield, broke in two, and all 12 occupants were rescued.
