What is the history of this Norseman? Is it as nice a restoration as the one in Red Lake?

That's sad - a swallow condo at best. Can't they find somewhere to put it inside?

At least they could have put it on a swivel and then it could be a wind sock; and it would have annoyed the birds...

Oh well,

Where'd they put it up, across the bridge from KD6?

Meatservo: It's an old Lambair machine.

N29-7 CF-BHS

Registered to Lamb Airways, The Pas, Manitoba as CF-BHS on October 4, 1945. Registered to G.M Clark and John F. Midgett, Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan on May 16, 1966. They operated out of Buffalo Narrows and La Loche, Saskatchewan. Re-registered to C and M Airways, La Loche, Saskatchewan in 1971. On May 30, 1981 the aircraft crashed into trees after an engine failure. No details. On September 28, 1989 it was registered to La Loche Airways, La Loche, Saskatchewan. While taxiing on October 11, 1989, fire broke out in the aircraft. It was beached on Prowse island (Cree Lake, Sask.?) and destroyed by the fire.

Yes yes still within the staggering distance of the TI, didnt someone chainsaw the heads off the stone dog statues last year, im sure the locals and their overwhelming respect for their surroundings will have this in shambles unless Thompson can put a fence around it.
