Re: RCAF DH2 Beaver????? I remember seeing several pictures of Beavers flown by Canadian Agencies like the RCMP, OPP, an Ontario Natural Resourses. I do recal ever seeing a Beaver in RCAF markings. We used the Otter as already mentioned by Larry and others. flytwice |

Re: RCAF DH2 Beaver????? I could be wrong but don't think the USAF ever did buy any post WW2 DH aircraft but I do know the U.S. Army loved them. Had something to do with not wanting to be dependant on another countries ability to supply a source of parts. |

Re: RCAF DH2 Beaver????? I find it interesting to hear a number of you talking about your experiences with the real planes. It somehow brings life to them. |

Re: RCAF DH2 Beaver????? Was a member of 402 City of Winnipeg Sqdn (fitter) when the Otter was taken on strength, Had a lot of good times and got great experience during those days. Missed out on the float ops tho. They came after my civvie job got in the way. Good times for sure, and a great aircraft. |

Re: RCAF DH2 Beaver????? I have found numerous references that the Otter was original called the King Beaver. |

Re: RCAF DH2 Beaver????? Hello There: At that time period we still had a number of Mk-6 Norsemen. These were operated by 408 Squadron at Rockcliffe. The Otter was available in 1953, these were better suited for the role of 408, which was mapping the North. I had the pleasure of accepting the first Otter at Downsview in 1953, This was flown back to Rockcliffe and became part of the CEPE fleet which I was a part of. Larry |

Re: RCAF DH2 Beaver????? It would be interesting to know the story behind us never using the Beaver! |
