Crash of a Fokker F-11A amphibian at McDame Lake in northern British Columbia, see other photo for details and the preserved hull of this aircraft. Photo from: Canada Aviation Museum

This rare flying boat was in storage at the Aviodrome. Only six F.11s were built, and this is the only surviving example. Built in 1930, it was first operated by Air Ferries in San Francisco as NC399N, later by Gorst Air Transport in Seattle. Registered as CF-AUV on 1 Jul 1933 and crashed on take-off from McDame Lake, BC, Canada on 13 July 1935, when it struck trees after a limited take-off run. The wreck was salvaged and later acquired by the Western Canada Aviation Museum in Winnipeg (now the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada). In 1992 it was loaned to the Aviodome, now the Aviodrome.

Made in 1934 as G-ACYS and exported to Australia in 1938 where it became VH-ACC. Registered to a collector at Carman/MB in April 1970 as CF-AUV (registration faintly visible on rudder) who stuck the ugly canopy on it, presumably to facilitate giving joy rides. By 1972 it was in Ontario and got properly rebuilt without the canopy in the 1980s. Restored as G-ACYS in July 2020.
