Tracking the Australian DHC-2

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

The Australian Beaver is still in Fremantle, in a container, waiting for the freighter.  The weather here in Campbell River has been typical: late November gales and rain. We’ve all volunteered to go to Australia to expedite the shipping.  Here’s a picture of the aircraft before.  We’ll post pictures as we repair it.

Cessna 185 Going, DHC-2 Coming!

That’s C-FOLE in the back of the container.  Ian Scott, on the right, is taking it to Australia.  We’ve known the plane for years and will be sorry to see it go. Tom, on the left, will be meeting the container in Australia to re-assemble the plane.

Coming from Australia is VH-IDO, a DHC-2.  It’s in the container now, enroute to Fremantle.  We think the planes will pass each other mid-Pacific, in about two weeks!
