Photo Comment

This 1952 Beaver was originally 51-16803 with the US Army. Among several sold to B-M Aviation Ltd / Laurentian Air Services in 1973, the aircraft is pictured leased to Tradewinds Aviation. It would overturn during landing and sink in Lake Lovelywater near Squamish, BC while filming for a movie on September 16, 1981. Recovered and repaired, the aircraft is current as C-GATJ at the time of uploading.
