Summer vacation in 2007 brought me to Canada. My itinerary made me travel through Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba as well as parts of Northwest Ontario. |

In 2016 Norman Smith read my misfortune, loosing the images, and came to the rescue with these images of CF-SAM:

![]() So I made it a point to visit the new RCMP Heritage Centre in neighbouring Regina, but was told at the reception desk that the DHC-3 Otter (cockpit, CF-MPW) on display had not 'survived' the move earlier this year to the brand new museum. So I cancelled my intention to enter the museum, instead I went over to the former entrance where I found permission to photograph the Beech D18S on display here. Fortunately Shannon Cunningham (Conservator/Collections Manager) sent me good news on CF-MPW's fate: "It is in storage in the back room of the Heritage Centre. In fact, we just moved the engine from the old museum to the new facility a couple of weeks ago. We are hoping to have it back out on exhibit at some point in the future as it is extremely popular with children." [April 15th, 2008] ![]() Beech D18S CF-MPH (c/n A-141) |
In 2011 a 2nd edition, fully revised and also including monuments, was published by Air-Britain (Historians) Ltd. |
