Operating with Blue Water Aviation Services. This was a summer of very high water levels, with the Winnipeg River flowing fast. Tied up to a small docking platform, but with additional reinforcement being provided by a line fixed to the parked truck. Completed in 1954 and crated for Norway as LN-SUV. Damaged in transit and returned. After repair, sold to Imperial Oil as CF-IOF. In 1999 became the prototype turbine conversion for the Czech Walter M-601 engine, fitted at McGregor, Texas. Blue Water carried out certification flight testing back at Silver Falls. This photo is copyright © David A. Montgomery, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
