Moored at its Selkirk base, but with access proving temporarily difficult due to the Red River being in flood. Built in 1943 for the USAF as 43-35481. Passed to the RCAF as HB112 but quickly sold on to the civilian market as C-FSFH. Acquired by Selkirk Air from Ontario Central Airlines in 1983. Substantially damaged at Bradburn Lake, Manitoba on 5 June 1995 when the port float separated during takeoff as the aircraft commenced its third flight of the day from a fishing camp back to Selkirk.

Looking like it has just emerged after a complete overhaul during winter lay-up, this Beech was totaled when a float separated on take-off a few years later. Note the heaps of melting snow, even in April, as winter reluctantly releases its grip.

Ex USAAF 43-35481, RCAF HB112, CF-SFH. Last registered to Interlake Air Services (T/A Selkirk Air) 22 November 1996. Cancelled 22 May 2015 but withdrawn from use well before this date. It has now been transferred to the graveyard area with new grass to hide it!

Looking serene moored on the Red River, this Beech 18 was wrecked in 1995 when the LH float separated on take-off from a remote lake.

Game over for this old classic. Ex USAAF C-45B Expeditor 43-35481, and ex RCAF HB112. Acquired by Selkirk Air from Ontario Central Airlines in May 1983 and crashed on take-off from Bradburn Lake, MB on June 5, 1995.
