I think you may have the wrong aircraft for Taylor, Anson 12325 was in service till late 1945, and was broken up for parts in 1953. I can't find any CNS crashes around that date.

[wwrsimon]

TAYLOR, Bernard William David - LAC - 3006853 - the Canada War Graves Register (Circumstances of Casualty) on ancestry.co.uk states that he was "hit by tailplane while bailing out of Anson Aircraft Mk. V 12 miles south of Minnedosa, Man., at approximately 0005 hours, 6/Apr/45."

Perhaps not an actual crash...?

The SE had arrived by road from Sadaung and the camp ptiched when he ran into the river for a swim. It is thought that he must have got cramp and been sucked under by a shell hole whirlpool.
