This 1963 Beech 18 flew with a construction company and Millardair before it was bought by Hicks & Lawrence, one of Canada's most experienced aerial applicators. With them 1967 - 72, it went to Voyageur Airways for a year before acquired by Bradley Air Services in 1973. On November 30, 1975, a main gear collapsed on landing at Ottawa and the aircraft veered off the runway in to a snow bank with major damage. Never repaired, the aircraft was moved in the spring of 1980 to Morrison's Quarry near Wakefield QC, and used at a scuba diving training resource. [Note: Photographic evidence exists of this. The long accepted story that the aircraft's cabin roof was used on Westwind III C-GBLI to increase cabin volume is discounted by photo and dates.] This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
