MacMillian-Blodel Forest Products was the largest forestry company in British Columbia and operated a pair of Grumman G-21A Goose (C-FIOL, ex-RCAF 397 and C-FHUZ, ex-RCAF 393) for several decades to transport executives and employees between Vancouver Airport and its timber mills on the BC coast, many of which were equipped with seaplane ramps. Goose C-FIOL was one of 23 participants in the Expo 86 Bushplane Flypast on May 5, 1986. In 2021 it was flying with Wilderness Seaplanes based at Port Hardy on the north end of Vancouver Island (which also owns C-FHUZ for parts). This photo is copyright © Kenneth I.
