Returning from a sortie and about to touch down on Runway 31 at High Level Airport. Part of a bomber group deployed at the Airport's Fire attack Base.

First flight for this Islander was on November 30, 1970 with test registration G-51-241. Destined to become CF-QPM for Air Halifax in Canada, the aircraft had an extended delivery flight when Britten-Norman entered it in the 1971 London to Victoria Air Race. Pictured at a stop in Ottawa, the Canadian registration taped over and marked G-AZAX with race number 54, it flew back across Canada for delivery. Sold to Harbor Airlines as N67HA in January 1977, it would move to Slocum Air by 1981. Registered to Nassau based MD Air Services in 1984 where is was written off after overrunning the runway.

Bird dog and airtanker. The co-operation between the crews of these aircraft is a fascinating and demanding task. Bird Dog 54 is wearing the "Alberta Wildfire Management - Air Attack" badge on the tail. The Electra is L-188A C-GZVM/485.
