No cockpit door here. The young lady was on her last check flight before progressing to the fleet.

Quite a warm day they said, only minus 15 plus the wind chill.

Considering the popularity of Buffalo airways , there is a distinct lack of decals for the various aircraft.

I agree with you, i did wrote several manufacturers and they are a little reluctant to start these sets..

 

Cheers, Jan

Marvellous set of pics and of course the  Buffalo stuff!!! 

 

Modelling wise, I have built DC-3 'PNR using Leading Edge Decals and have also done the MAch kit of the DC-4. The decals for my DC_4 were custom made and the green mixed courtesy of my local hardware store and a Dulux paint chart! Somewhere in the BM archives should be pics of both my builds.

 

Going back to the pics the one s with the dog are poignant... she died  at some point during the filming of series 5 of Ice Pilots. Series 6 has nevr been shown on UK TV though. |( I do have the DVD set for this series happily)

I take it you are on a tour of Canada ?Have you been to the Bush plane heritage center at Sault Ste.Marie ?

Yes , Canada and Alaska 2001 as in the sub title. Sault Ste.Marie does not ring any bells.
