On display next to a Sherman tank in a small parking lot in Fourth Street. The maintenance guy had just started work and the other side was in shadow so I had to just capture it like this.

One of five Electras operated by Northwest Territorial, this one was in the fleet from June 1981 to January 1991. It was sold to Air Bridge Carriers in the UK to become G-FNWY. The aircraft has since returned to Canada in 2003 with Air Spray as air tanker 485 registered C-GZVM.

This 737 was delivered to Pacific Western on December 19, 1973. Sold to EE&G in February 1983, it flew military and contractor employees to restricted locations. The unofficial airline is sometime known as Janet from their call sign. The aircraft was retired in 2005 and stored. Pictured in front of PWs hangar originally built by Canadian Pacific Airlines to service their Bristol Britannias, this hangar is now a Federal Heritage Building and dodged the fate of the Boeing Canada factory on the left of the photo. Erected in 1939 to build Catalina / Canso flying boats, it was demolished in 1980.

Formerly with Sterling Pacific Air, this Mixmaster is no longer carried on the Canadian reg

Registered to Harbour Air 28 March 2001 and converted to turbine power.

Ex C-FEYY. Registered to Harbour Air 23 Aug 2007 and converted to turbine power. Entered HA service in 2008. A great way to get to Vancouver International Airport!

Golden Hawks livery and Centenary markings on the tail and a 'Discovery Air' logo on the fuselage.

This aircraft (ex USN BuNo 4402) was located at Garden Bay for many years and its owner often flew it in the area and always took a passenger along to enjoy the experience. After his passing, Buffalo Joe McBryan of Buffalo Airways bought it and now its in Yellowknife, and Joe flies it just for fun and as with its previous owner he always takes someone along for a free ride. Great to have it remain in Canada.

On lease at the time to Saltspring Air from Viking, its reg is for "Viking Piston Beaver" Seen on its way back to Ganges in lovely evening light at the Fraser River.
