Re: Barkley-Grow
BMG was DBR at Port Alberni BC on Feb 1, 1947. It overturned at moorings due to strong wind and tide. Perhaps the photo is related to that incident.

Re: Barkley-Grow
I am a volunteer at the Canadian Museum of Flight in Langley, BC. I have been going through the photo files looking for buried treasure! Sure enough there are some Barkley-Grow photos that I have never seen online. One is of -BQM being lifted by a crane at a dock - obviously been submerged. This is not the setting for -BMG at Port Alberni - a Canadian Pacific aircraft. The photos of -BQM show the Pacific Western markings - as in the October 2016 posting by arrrthur.
But I have not seen reference to -BQM being dunked at a dock. The location looks like the Fraser River in Richmond. The photo frame shows the date as Oct 58. Any clues about the incident?

Re: Barkley-Grow
Here is a photo of BQM after sinking at a dock in Norway House MB in the fall of either 1969 or 1970. After that the trail gets a bit hazy. The previous photo of it on wheels may have been taken at the Cartierville Airport in Montreal. Just a WAG on my part but BQM may have been shipped to Montreal for repairs after the dunking. It wound with an owner in Montreal before Roy Staniland bought it and ferried it to Calgary.harvard4 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 2:43 pm I am a volunteer at the Canadian Museum of Flight in Langley, BC.

Re: Barkley-Grow
I have prepared a booklet on the Barkley-Grow that is available on request from the Canadian Museum of Flight in Langley, BC.
Send an email to:
info@canadianflight.org
It covers most of the significant history of the T8P-1 - as accurate as 80 year old history can be!
A small donation would be appreciated if you think it is worth it - all museums are suffering from closures or restrictions on visitors.
On the Museum website there is a section on TechTalk that features other aircraft in the Museum's collection - Harvard, Waco, Fleet and Tiger Moth. Take a look.

Re: Barkley-Grow
Have been browsing some of the photos at Canadian Museum of Flight and came across some interesting shots of the Barkley-Grow that I haven't seen before.
Another one is labeled on the photo as, 'Peace River airport. photo by John Davids YEG' This shows a Pacific Western DC-3 and also a Barkley-Grow with engines running. The registration appears to be CF-BLV - the aircraft that crashed at Peace River in January 1960.
One of these clearly shows the Canadian Pacific logo.Another one is labeled on the photo as, 'Peace River airport. photo by John Davids YEG' This shows a Pacific Western DC-3 and also a Barkley-Grow with engines running.

Re: Barkley-Grow
Here's another stray photo from off the internet. This time from;
https://archives.rcaf.museum
with credits to Ronald Knight.
This is the only B-G photo but lots of Canadian historical aircraft photos.
This photo is of BMG with its original registration in three-dimensional lettering (that upset D0T!). Yukon Southern on the fuselage.

Re: Barkley-Grow
Another photo from the Museum files BMW. In same Pacific Western color scheme as BQM above. Also looks like the same location - Fraser River in Richmond, BC?
