Built in 1955 as RCAF 3698. Still in the basic colours of its first civilian owners, the Province of Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources. Seen here at its Huron Air & Outfitters base on Mackenzie Lake, Armstrong Station, Ontario. Turbined with a Walter engine in the winter of 2002. In December 2003, damaged beyond repair in a sadly fatal ski-equipped takeoff accident at a strip overlooking Blackwater Lake near Jellicoe. Eighteen inches of fresh snow on the runway retarded the reaching of safe flying speed and the fully loaded aircraft crashed, penetrating thick ice.

Awaiting its next task at the base of its owners, Huron Air and Outfitters Inc, on McKenzie Lake, Armstrong Station, Ontario.

Delivered new to Canadian Forest Products in 1950, CF-GSR is pictured after sixty - four years of flying across Canada in and out of smaller and remote destinations. With Huron Air and Outfitters for the last seven years, the aircraft was sold to Canadian Warplane Heritage in 2014 and ferried to the Hamilton museum location the following summer.

Originally RCAF 3698. Once was a yellow bird of the Ontario Gov't. Brand new Walter Turbine conversion. Note the airflow sensors on top of the cowl. Analyzing rain dispersal over the windshield. Sad note: This Otter was destroyed in a fatal crash in Ontario on 16 Dec 2003.
