David Peregrine

He was born David Alan Evans in Llay, Wales[1] and grew up in Ottawa.

He joined the Royal Winnipeg Ballet as a member of the corps in 1975, becoming soloist three years later and principal dancer in 1980, partnering with Evelyn Hart.

[3] Peregrine appeared as Smike in the play Nicholas Nickleby and the monster in Frankenstein in productions by the Manitoba Theatre Centre.

Due to bad weather, a rescue crew was only able to reach the site 8 days later.

Two passengers -- a friend and his brother (Meirig Evans of Ottawa, b.1970) -- also died in the crash.
