One of my main aims in visiting Trenton was to shoot this Buffalo, but my extremely hectic schedule that day which included driving to Hamilton as part of a 550km round trip meant that I had to accept less than perfect light. 115456 left DHC's Downsview plant and began service with 429 Sqdn (Tactical Transport) at St. Hubert, Quebec in 1967. In 1975 it was converted to a dual role transport/SAR aircraft for 442 Sqdn (Transport & Rescue) at CFB Comox, BC, flying until retirement in September 2020 and ferry to the museum the next month. The CC-115s have been replaced at Comox by the CC-295. This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
