**I THINK** that's the Chinese Harbin Y-11B (the regular -11 had radials). The turbine version, the Y-12 Panda, was the variant almost produced in Canada.

linecrew: sorry, not the Harbin Y-11B. Think laid-off Boeing Canada engineers go to Renton, 1970s.

ehbuddy Thought your hull might be a Transall C-160, or perhaps a CASA C.212, but now I think it is the one-off prototype Air Metal AM-C 111.

Correct. It's actually (or was, rather) a Canadair CT-133 that was built in Montreal and served with the RCAF before going to private hands.

"Since we're on T-33's...."

Oh but we aren't here. This is a Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star, U.S.A.F. s/n 49-429 (Block 10 Production aircraft built by the parent company at Burbank, California).

The aircraft was photographed in Alaska during ski trials.

49-429 crashed 10 miles north-west of Willow, Alaska on the 24th of May, 1950 while being flown by Nolan. R. Dotz.

Cheers...Chris

Siddley Hawker is correct. The Fairchild 45-80 Sekani. The unsuccessful aircraft was featured on a JELLO aircraft coin and a Canadian postage stamp.

It's a Canadian Vickers Velos.

I just read it has been selected to replace the CC-115 Buffalo in the SAR role.

Yes, Chris, you are correct. Well done. Please post a challenge photo.


Just to give you a sense of scale of the Canadian Vickers Velos:
