A daily run-up with nice fall colors in the background.

Quite a site while taxiing in for the last time of the day.

I believe this is called the Cygnet formation. This would be number 8's last airshow, as it crashed enroute to Manitoba for another airshow. Thankfully, the pilot ejected.

Engine #2 puffs to life, the aircraft getting ready to fly to Alaska.

Sent up to assist with the evacuation of Wollaston Lake, the right wing struck one of the buildings during taxiing, subsequently grounding the aircraft.

This aircraft will hopefully be airborne in a year. The engines and radiators are on the way, and it will be an exciting day when this one makes its first flight!

C-GWZS served in the RAF, 512 Sqn.

512 Squadron Dakota Mk III, HC-AT (RAF Serial No. KG330), lands at the Brussels Airport to repatriate Belgian nationals from Germany—both slave labourers and former concentration camp inmates. This 512 Squadron aircraft brought in the infantry and airborne commandos that fought to free them and then brought them back home—an honourable history if there ever was one. And in an unlikely coincidence, KG330 is still flying today from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canadian registered as C-GWZS and a television star flying for the cameras for the hit reality series Ice Pilots NWT. KG330 also flew paratroopers on D-Day, but Southgate’s logbook indicated that he did not fly KG330, but he flew the next in line, KG331. Photo: Imperial War Museum
