Two de Havilland Otters were on the frozen Lagopede Lake in Quebec. One of them landed while the other was waiting to take off, and the landing pilot lost control on touchdown. The landing Otter struck the waiting one and tore off its right wing, so that aircraft was written off, while the landing aircraft was only slightly damaged. The lone pilot was uninjured.
