EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver aircraft, registration C-FEYZ (msn 556), of Latham Island Airways, in flight against a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. The Beaver, a versatile and iconic bush plane, was renowned for its short takeoff and landing capabilities, making it an ideal choice for the rugged terrain and challenging conditions of the Canadian wilderness. The image, believed to have been taken around 1980, shows the Beaver in its element, with its large float landing gear submerged in the water. The aircraft's distinctive silhouette, with its high-mounted wings and tail, is a testament to de Havilland Canada's innovative design. Unfortunately, this particular Beaver met an unfortunate end on August 14, 1984, near Watson Lake, YT, when it was written off. Despite this, the image remains a poignant reminder of the vital role that such aircraft played in the transportation of people and goods in remote areas of Canada, and the sense of adventure and exploration that came with it. The de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver, first flown in 1947, went on to become one of the most successful and enduring designs in aviation history, with over 1,600 built and still in use today. This photograph is a tribute to the aircraft's legacy and the spirit of aviation that continues to inspire and captivate us.
