• DH83 CF-CSW " Tiger Moth. I used to fly it before I learned to fly. Gordy Hoffas checked me out on it going to the Saskatchewan ranch with groceries. He flew along side me with GFN. I think he sold it to Flying Farmers around Lethbridge. Stubby Ross was involved with them." GTL
• DHC-2 CF-EYW sn475 1954 exported 1990. " Donald bought it from EPA in Gander Newfoundland and flew it home, long ride because EYW took off at 85, flew at 85, and landed at 85. When he got there to pick it up they had it stripped right down to the "Stainless Steel" and scattered all over the hanger floor. When they put it together they riveted the tail end together one hole out so the stab. was off da plumb.The radio set up was the old military comand set. Pieces all over the place. I always had to carry a pocket full of crystals to plug in. Thom and I saw a couple of beavers, the same vintage, at Oshkosh. They were asking 265,000.00 on wheels."GTL

Writen off at Dunrobin Ont. 1 May 1970. " Greg "Verna and I and Mom and Dad were in Calgary when you arrived with it from TO." Sounds like Jack and Barb flew it to Calgary from Toronto. "de Havilland did all their twin otter experimenting on this airplane. Different gear confiruration, hung another engine ,PT6, on it .Big flaps and so on. They sold it to Dad for a good price and Jack and Barb, he never went anywhere without Barb, flew it to Field at Calgary and they normalized it. Dad sold it to a mining co. that wanted to attach a magnitomiter on the right wing. The DOT made them do outlandish flight tests untill the wing came off. "See we told you it wouldn't work"Greg
