Does anyone know if Jacksons used to have a Twin Otter at one time or do they service one for an auto parts recycle company?

They were servicing a 206 on amfibs for an auto parts recycling company.
I don't know if WT got a twin otter but I'd be very surprised if he did,

Someone I know bumped into a guy in Toronto Pearson on their way across the country. This guys said he owned a twin otter on floats for private use. Showed pictures. Says he worked with an auto recycling company and was heading to wpg. Only private twotter I know if was Max Ward's. Says Jacksons does the maintenance. Jacksons air has been gone I think sense 2007. I called BS on the story but have been wrong before.

Shaun Jackson owns Adventure Air in Lac Du bonnet.
They did the maint on a 206 that is owned by an Auto Parts guy in MB.
The owner piled it into a golf course a couple years ago, case of too much air in the tanks if I recall but they rebuilt it.
I'd be pretty surprised if he got a Twin Otter, maybe he won the lottery or the auto parts wrecking business is better than I thought.

I seem to recall Parsons Airways Northern had a Twin Otter for a brief period of time but that was many moons ago and only a rumor.

Max Ward's Twotter is owned and flown by the Manitoba government now. Sounds like he left some cool notes in the manual as well.
