Registered to Northwest Flying Inc 6 May 2013. Seen floating in to the dock after shutting down both engines. Note the unusual three bladed propellers. We then chartered it for a local flight with the owner.

Originally built for the Firestone Tire & Rubber Co in 1948 and imported into Canada in 1954. Here it was Red lake/ON based but on winter lay-up at this remote site in the bush. By 2021 it was still in service owned by Northwest Flying at Nestor Falls (CKT3). Just north of Redditt town is a VIA Rail Station, on the opposite side of which is an unlicenced grass strip. Mainly used for winter lay-up of floatplanes which are towed up from a lake to the west via a narrow channel.
