Photo Comment

This Astar was with Sealand Helicopters from 1981 until it was wrecked when it crashed into trees during an engine test at Goose Bay/NL on 31 October 1983. Deleted from the Canadian register in July 1988. Based in St. John's, Newfoundland , Sealand was a rare sight in British Colombia at this time. With other investors, Sealand's owner Craig Dobbin would form Canadian Holding Company and buy Okanagan Helicopters, Viking Helicopters and Toronto Helicopters in 1987 and merge them with Sealand to form CHC Helicopters.
