Photo Comment

One of two Kenting DC-4's under contract to Transport Canada for Ice Reconnaissance, with "Canada Department of Transport Meteorological Branch Ice Reconnaissance" titles. Having returned from patrolling Canada's East coast, CF-KAE is pictured undergoing preparation for moving to Iqualuit to patrol the Eastern Arctic from July to (usually) October. The DC-4s were replaced by Lockheed Electras in 1972.
