Pix From a Swamper - Remembering Craig Chenell

[Siddley Hawker]

There used to be a lot of caribou around there, as well as some decent fishing, that must be what the Innu are doing there with the camp. That dump looks like some of the original drums from when the station was built. Initially I'm guessing they used the Canso for the fuel haul, with a mixed load of drums and tanked fuel from the right wing tank. We used onboard tanks with both the DC-3 and C-46. As an aside, it's pretty stony soil there and not a very long growing season, but a certain controlled substance could be cultivated with ease.

I'm going to go sentimental on you guys that post pictures. This page is one of the main reasons I frequent Avcanada. I started my career in the eastern arctic a long time ago. So many memories of flying around, visiting so many communities, fishing, partying under the midnight sun, staff house stupidity, hangovers, etc. The float pictures take me back to being a kid with my dad, on fishing trips to remote lakes.

I'm not in the country anymore, but seeing these pictures just reminds me of the unspoiled beauty that true northerners experience and fall in love with. Spend time in the bush and you not only never forget it, but there comes a day when you really truly miss it.

Thanks everyone.

Nice pics esp, especially of Mt. Ortell.

CSW used to be a TC a/c & I've got quite a few good hours on her. Are TC still operating CSW? The pic doesn't sugget that. If not, who has her now?

[esp803]

She's no longer a TC bird, now belongs to Alkan Air

I'm hoping for a nice steady stream of photos as the season starts when the ice goes out!! Would be neat to see where everyone is and what they're upto. Here are a couple from the wet coast over the last two weeks. You'll see some from MB and NWO from me near the end of the month..

Hasn't been a lot of activity in this thread in a bit. Maybe I can get the ball rolling again.
