Photo Comment

Originally 44-35893 this Invader went on to the civil registry June 1958 as N4812E. Bought by the Rock Island Oil & Refining Co for a Monarch 26 conversion that never happened. In 1974 Conair brought it into Canada as C-GHCC for fire fighting. Sold to Air Spray in 1982, it was lost in a hangar fire October 16, 2000 at Red Deer. Sections of the aircraft remain in the field north of Air Spray's hangar there.
