DHC-2 Beaver CF-JBP was delivered new to B.C. Yukon Air Service Ltd. in Watson Lake, Yukon on June 21, 1956 and has spent its entire career flying with airlines in the Yukon and British Columbia operating on floats. During this period it was substantial damaged in accidents in 1964 and 1988 and rebuilt. It was owned by Harbour Air and flying in Whistler Air colours when photographed in 2022. It was photographed from the dyke beside River Road in Richmond which on the south side of the Fraser River opposite the YVR seaplane base.

After landing, taxiing back across Vancouver Harbour to the seaplane docks. Formerly with Baxter Aviation at Nanaimo and at this stage still retaining much of that operator's colour scheme.

Now painted in crisp new Harbour Air livery.

On the way back to Nanaimo. I like this new livery

Water taxiing away from the dock for departure to Vancouver, eventually to WestCoast Air, then Harbour Air, and now Saltspring Air which is part of Harbour Air.

One of Baxter Aviation's Beavers seen docked on the Fraser River. Tom and Linda Baxter formed this nice little airline in 1985, and sold it to West Coast Air less than a year after this photo was taken, in Apr 2007.

Formed in 1985, Baxter Aviation was taken over by West Coast Air less than a year later, in Apr 2007.
