Photo Comment

Imported into Canada in 1987 as C-GTXW for Air Manitoba after post-military registration in Venezuela and Dominican Rep. Here it has just returned from time in Kenya on famine relief from 1994 on. After restoration as C-GTXW it was wrecked while with Buffalo Airways by being deliberately landed wheels-up at Déline/NT on 25 September 2015. (Bar River is the last place anyone would expect to find a Kenyan registered C-46.)
