This was my first ever sight of a Norseman ! Seen here at Art Latto Air Service's original operating base on Eady Lake, just beside Highway 599, on the west side of the road a few miles south of the town of Savant Lake. Note the lucky Garfield stuffed toy clinging grimly to the rear cabin window. Had my first floatplane flight an hour later, in the right hand seat, courtesy of the owner, Art himself. Wonderful !!

Built in the year I was born, 1946. Basking in glorious evening light at the 2005 Norseman Festival at Red Lake, Ontario -"The Norseman Capital of the World". Operated by Art Latto Air Services.This is the aircraft in which, in 1993, I had my first ever floatplane flight - free, courtesy of its colourful owner, Art Latto, who couldn't believe anyone would have come from Scotland to the wilds of Savant Lake, Ontario, just to photograph his aeroplane.
