C-FNJE as a Water Bomber with the Province of Newfoundland
by Doug Roy on 04/19/11
Another great contact from a post war pilot of C-FNJE! A few days ago we got an email from Neil Shae of Riverview, NB (see below) with a wonderful photo of the Canso in Conception Bay, Newfoundland (photo on the front page)
I was looking at your web site on Canso C-FNJE. I
worked with the NL Government Air Service and was a canso co-pilot for the 1979
and 1980 fire seasons and C-FNJE was part of our fleet , a check in my log book
indicates that I have some time on this particular canso and have fond
memories. I probably have about 250 hrs all told on the canso. I have attached
a photo of C-FNJE taken by Kelly’s Island, Conception Bay, Newfoundland
probably 1980 or 1981 not sure.
Cheers
