Photo Comment

First operator after the RAF was Trans Canada Airlines. Here in Transair service it is being refueled at the GA pumps while loading baggage for the next flight. Livery is gold stripe and fin with red rudder. In 1970 it was WFU and stored dismantled by the Western Canada Aviation Museum. There were plans to send it to Poland as, when in RAF service, it was in dedicated Polish Army VIP use.
