First Canadian built Delta. Remained in service until 1944. This photo was taken three days after its first flight which was from the Fairchild-owned seaplane base at Boucherville on the St Lawrence River that Canadian Vickers also used. Both had their factories at nearby Longueuil airfield. Flight testing continued from this facility until taken on charge by the RCAF in September.
