Here just arrived for adding to the Ilford-Riverton Airways fleet and it has lost the belly mounted survey equipment shown in Photo ID: 9630. Prior to import in 1970 it was owned by Handley Page Aircraft (G-ATBE) which is when it may have acquired the Hastings-style RAF Transport Command paint scheme. Later it went to Points North Air where it was withdrawn from service and cancelled June 2014.

Pictured operating for North Coast Ar Services, this Beaver was seen in Vancouver on short leases to several operators in the early 80s. Originally US Army 53-7942 during 1955 - 71. The aircraft was part of the Kansas Technical Institute's aviation program in Salinas, KS registered N100KT until coming to Canada in 1981. Moving to Alaska as N100K, it worked flying for Iliamna Lake Resort. In the mid 90s was bought by Robert Wiplinger of Wipaire, Inc and registered N100KL. It was converted to a Wipaire Boss Beaver circa 1998 and is current on the US register at the time of uploading.

This C-47A was operated by North Coast, of Prince Rupert BC, on surveying work between 04.70 and 04.74. Detecting devices are fitted below the fuselage.
