West Coast Air Services Grumman G-21A, CF-GEC, undergoing and engine change and painting in the company's old RCAF hangar at Vancouver Airport in about 1973-1974, based on the slide film I was using before switching to Kodachrome. This aircraft was later repainted in West Coast Air's new blue and white colours not long before struck an object and sank with no loss of life at Powell River, BC on 14 August 1978. I also photographed G-21A, CF-PVE outside the same West Coast Air hangar at YVR before it crashed in Nitinat Canyon, Mount Cooper, Vancouver Island on September 9, 1974.
