C-FGCV - deHavilland Canada DHC-3 Otter - Walsten Air Service
at Kenora/ON in November 1986
c/n 2 - built in 1953
C-FGCV's fifteen years of service for Walsten Air Service came to a tragic end on 20th September 1995. That morning the pilot took off from Kenora and flew to Stewart Lake, some sixty miles west of Dryden, to pick up five passengers and their equipment. The passengers were all anglers on a fishing trip, all being close personal friends coming from Cross Plains, Wisconsin. The Otter flew the party to an outpost camp at Salvesen Lake, Ontario about fifty miles north-west of Kenora. Tragically the Otter crashed during the landing when it flipped over and became submerged, killing all six on board. The remains of the Otter were taken to Walsten Air's facility

Production 7612
Registration Number GFV 513 (Blackpool)

First shown at the 1948 London Motor Show as a Roadster show car, with public reaction encouraging William Lyons to put it in production for 1949. With the first customer car delivered to Clark Gable.
The first 242 were hand built with aluminium bodies and ash frames, but to meet demand the mass produced cars that followed had pressed steel bodies, but retained the aluminium doors, bonnet and boot lid.
Powered by a 3.4 litre straight six XK engine With alloy cylinder head and twin side-draft SU carburettors, the dual overhead-cam With alloy cylinder head and twin side-draft SU carburettors, the dual overhead-cam it developed 160 bhp. All this was available at the very reasonable price of £1,263 at launch, which by 1953 had become £1,602 It was Jaguar's first sports car since SS 100 production ended in 1939.
The XK120 was launched in open two-seater (OTS) form at the 1948 London Motor Show with an engine designed by Jaguar Chief Engineer William Heynes. Beginning in 1948, the first 242 cars were wood-framed open 2-seater bodies with aluminium, in 1950 production switched to the 1cwt or 112 lb (51 kg) heavier all steel body, aluminium doors, bonnet, and boot lid were retained. The XK120 was ultimately available in three body styles, all two-seaters and available either as Left (LHD) or Right Hand Drive (RHD): an open 2-seater described in the US market as a roadster (OTS); a fixed head coupé (FHC) from 1951; and a drophead coupé (DHC) from 1953. The DHC and FHC versions, more luxuriously appointed than the constantly exposed open cars, had wind-up windows and wood veneers on the dashboard and interior door caps.
The dual overhead-cam 3.4 L straight-6 XK engine was highly advanced for a mass-produced unit of the time, featuring a high-temperature, high-strength aluminium alloy cylinder head, hemispherical combustion chambers, inclined valves, and twin side-draft SU carburettors. All XK120s had independent Heynes designed torsion bar front suspension, semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear, recirculating ball steering, telescopically adjustable steering column, and all-round 12-inch drum brakes which were prone to fade.[11] Some cars were fitted with Alfin (Aluminium finned) brake drums to help overcome the fade.
The open two-seater provided little weather protection. Its lightweight folding canvas top and detachable sidescreens stowed out of sight behind the seats. The doors had no external handles; they were opened by an interior pull-cord, accessed through a flap in the sidescreens when the weather equipment was in place. The windscreen could be removed for aeroscreens to be fitted.
The drophead coupé (DHC) had a padded, lined canvas top, which folded onto the rear deck behind the seats when retracted, and roll-up windows with opening quarter lights. The flat glass two-piece windscreen was set in a steel frame that was integrated with the body and painted the same colour. Dashboards and door-caps in both the DHC and the closed coupé (FHC) were wood-veneered, whereas the open cars were leather-trimmed.

La Fuerza Aérea Argentina adquirió seis aviones del modelo Mk I que fueron matriculados P-01 al 06 y desplegados por vía marítima a la Base Matienzo de la Antártida Argentina. Desde allí realizaron operaciones logísticas en favor de los científicos que concurrieron a diversas campañas antárticas anuales. El 25 Set '69, el DHC-2 P-03 se convirtió en el primer avión que aterrizó el la Antártida con un tren convencional. En esta oportunidad, el Beaver fue equipado con ruedas más un sistema de esquíes principales retráctiles, lo cual le facilitaba las operaciones tanto en nieve como en tierra.
