Built for Northwest Airlines in 1956 and later flew with Sterling Airways in Europe. Imported by Conair in 1974, it was one of a pair converted for pollution control where chemicals were pumped out of the large pipe in the tail. Oil spill dispersal in the Gulf of Mexico was what they worked on so here probably only for some maintenance related reason. Later converted for water dropping and cancelled in August 1994 after being scrapped at Abbotsford/BC.

Here just arrived for adding to the Ilford-Riverton Airways fleet and it has lost the belly mounted survey equipment shown in Photo ID: 9630. Prior to import in 1970 it was owned by Handley Page Aircraft (G-ATBE) which is when it may have acquired the Hastings-style RAF Transport Command paint scheme. Later it went to Points North Air where it was withdrawn from service and cancelled June 2014.

Built in 1959 for the RCMP and here in operations on wheel-skis. Later became N93PC and wrecked on take-off from Soldotna/AK on 7 July 2013 due to being overweight and with CG aft of limit.

Brand new and here on delivery ferry from the factory at Alexandria/MN to Terrace/BC. Registration cancelled in June 2008 with reason unknown.

Made in 1946 and imported in 1960 ex N72466. I found this hanging on the fence after a freak wind storm picked it up and dropped it there. As can be seen, the aircraft had been tied down with rope more suitable for hanging out the laundry which explains why all three broke. Sometimes people have to learn the hard way! Luckily it was repaired and is current based at Morden/MB in 2021.

Built in 1968 and here registered to Dunavant Enterprises. Bought by Alliance Air Parts in January 2012 (when N20HF) and broken up.

Imported in 1972 by Kenting Aviation and later operated with Conair until it went to the Canadian Warplane Heritage museum in January 1988. In May 1989 it was exported as N81797 and was acquired by the Carolinas Aviation Museum in March 2006.

Built in 1971 and destroyed in a hangar fire at Tampa/FL on 25 September 1973.

Built for Canadian Pacific Air Lines in 1958 and here with NWT Air, but displaying its previously acquired Pacific Western fuselage stripe. Later converted to a budworm sprayer as C-GBZC with Conifair then restored as C-FCZZ with Conair and converted for water dropping. Current in 2021 as cargo carrier N9056R in Alaska.

Fitted with a long range belly fuel tank for operations in the far north. In 2021 it is operating in the Pacific oceanic area as DQ-GWW.

The emblem on the tail says 'NDSU Flying Club', so that would be the University of North Dakota Students Union. Cancelled by the FAA on 3 November 1997 as destroyed so likely became an instructional airframe on the aeronautical campus.

Imported in 1972 by Kenting Aviation and later operated with Conair until it went to the Canadian Warplane Heritage museum in January 1988. In May 1989 it was exported as N81797 and was acquired by the Carolinas Aviation Museum in March 2006.

Other than the fact that it stopped off at Redhill (EGKR) the same month, I can find no history for this aircraft. The most likely explanation is that it was a factory new aircraft that routed via here on delivery to South Africa.

Made in 1953 and wrecked at Pompano Beach/FL on 25 March 1983 when it stalled during an overshoot.

Built in 1969 and here registered to Rottler Boring Bar Co. In the era before businesses transferred most manufacturing off-shore, an amazing number of aircraft were registered to companies engaged in heavy industry, as this one. The Baron was cancelled by the FAA on 1 December 2011.

Built in 1950 and current in 2021.

Built in 1957 and still retains the fleet number 681 from when with Northeast Airlines. Later became YS-39C and eventually broken up.

The registration is a clue that this DC-9 was delivered first to North Central Airlines (September 16, 1976). With a name change to Republic Airlines in 1979 and merger with Northwest Airlines in 1986, the aircraft was in service until an accident put it out of action. On May 19, 2005, it suffered a failure of one (of two) hydraulic systems. Landing safely at Minneapolis, the crew inadvertently shut down the engine with the good hydraulic pump. Cascading failures of the nose wheel steering, brakes and thrust reversers for lack of hydraulic pressure caused the aircraft to collide with an A319.

Built in 1971 and a Cessna company hack at this time. Current in (much warmer) Puerto Rico in 2021. It was very rare to see visiting GA aircraft of this class parked outdoors at this time of year without an engine insulation blanket, owing to the arctic conditions making re-starting next to impossible after cool-down. In this case, prior to start-up a 400K BTU heater called a Herman-Nelson would have been fired up and flexible ducts stuffed inside the engine compartment and interior. This would very quickly warm things up enough to get going. An expensive service, so most people stayed home.

Imported in 1966 ex N8758H and re-registered as C-GPSY in June 1985. The C of R was cancelled in 2011 so current status in doubt.
