Photo Comment

Photographed stored after the closure of Antilles Air Boats the previous year. The aircraft was built as a US Navy JRF-5 BuNo 37793 but was sent to the Royal Navy, and later the RCAF, as FP471 and civilianised as NR46497, then NC1048V, post WWII. It was trucked away from Opa-locka in October 1983 and is thought to have been dismantled and used in the restoration of Goose N327 c/n 1051. (Thanks to Joe Baugher and Bill Bailey for information).
