Race number "40" and with the name "Spirit of the Fraser Valley" in gold on the port side of the nose, CF-NTY was the rarest of a diverse field of participants in the 1971 London to Victoria, BC Air Race. It may have made the first ever visit of a Howard DGA-15P to the UK. The blue Beech Staggerwing CF-GWL, race number "12", parked behind also generated vintage interest. Held to mark the centenary of British Columbia formally becoming a State of Canada. For a number of participants, the first leg of the Race was Abingdon - Prestwick, with Reykjavik being the next transatlantic waypoint. This photo is copyright © David A.
