Photo Comment

Delivered in Aug-1952 as CF-GBF, its registration was changed to C-FGBF by Dec-1974. On 25-May-2002 the pilot selected a southwesterly landing across the narrow width of Lillabelle Lake, its home base, due to the wind direction, but the available distance being too short, he made a go-around. But just after applying full power again, the aircraft rolled to the left and struck the water partly inverted. The aircraft was written-off and its registration was cancelled in Apr-2015.
