G'day


CT-TES is c/n 11906

Former Royal Air Force aircraft with No. 511 (T) Squadron, No. 105 (T) Operational Training Unit and No. 1381 Transport Conversion Unit. A number of years ago, this aircraft was destined to go to 14 Greenwood for restoration and inclusion in the air park but they got another Dakota in its place.

By the way, the aircraft was also operated by Lambair at The Pas during The Summer of Love (1967)

Cheers...Chris

This aircraft is slated for partial restoration in RCAF markings and placed on display as a Gate Guardian at 17 Wing.
