C-GBUL is still very active, on Tundra Tires even.

The MkII will still be the only one with the big fin.

At least the view from the office will be better with the R.985.

Why are you all so worried about the engine change? This is not the original engine anyway.
The original engine was a 550HP Alvis Leonides 502/4 british engine and was only fitted to this aircraft for evaluation by the brittish army. The only MKII S/N 80.

It is such a shame that an historic example of Canada's aviation past will be no more. Some things are worth the trouble.

Wasn't arguing, and I'll take your word for it. I was just surfing around and found the trivia interesting... and, unless something else fell through the swiss cheese holes in my brain, Wikipedia's information was a couple of years old.

I'm also strangely obsessed with trivia and Wikipedia.

28S is a Mk I, c/n 855.

C-GHGN is the prototype Mk II, c/n 80.

This info from DHC-2.com which I believe is far more accurate than Wikipedia when it comes to Beavers ;>)

According to Wikipedia, Harrison Ford owns a MK II, N28S, and DeHavilland may start building them again but, if they do, I'd be amazed if they carry radials.
