The Museum’s Noorduyn Norseman, CF-GSR, was built in 1950 by Canadian Car and Foundry, Fort William, Ontario. Mounted on floats, it first flew with a forestry company in the Queen Charlotte Islands, BC. Later it moved East and operated commercially with a succession of companies in Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba, until it finally ended up with Huron Air and Outfitters in Ontario. Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum acquired the aircraft from them and it arrived in 2015.
