CF-BXR Grumman
G-21A Goose
(c/n 1059)
This Goose
was in operation by Laurentian Air Services when this shot was taken at
Ottawa in
the early 1950s by the late
Peter Keating. It was a true civilian Goose, having been
built in 1939
as NC2788.
However, it must have migrated over the border shortly after, since it
was impressed
into the RCAF as #
797. Civilianized after WW II it became
CF-BXR. It sank in 1979 and
again in 1989 but has been
resurrected both times and is now registered to the Devcon Construction
Company of Tualaton, Oregon as
N39FG. Ken Tilley provides a somewhat later shot of it
(below)
also taken by
Peter. Finally, additional images of it can be
found at "The"
