Photo Comment

Wartime C-47 that was delivered to the RAF and seconded to the RCAF, this Dakota was acquired by Trans Canada Airlines in 1946. Airline operated until taken over by Transport Canada in 1961, it's pictured during it's time operating for the Canadian Coast Guard on anti-pollution patrols and ice reconnaissance. Sold to Buffalo Airways in 1998, the aircraft was stored in Red Deer, AB as a parts source. The registration was changed to C-FBAE in 2011 when Air Spray requested use of the C-FDTH registration on one of their Lockheed Electras.
