EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Historical Flight: Norcanair's CF-WAE Bristol 170 Freighter at Prince Albert Airport, Saskatchewan, 1981" 2.. This photograph depicts Norcanair's CF-WAE Bristol 170 Freighter, nestled at Prince Albert Airport in Saskatchewan, Canada, during the year 1981. The image captures the essence of aviation history, as this aircraft holds a unique and significant past. 3. Originally operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), this Bristol Freighter, serial number CF-WAE, was later acquired by Wardair before being transferred to Norcanair. The RCAF had employed these versatile aircraft for various roles, including search and rescue, cargo transport, and even aerial spraying for forest fire control. 4. By the late 1970s and early 1980s, the CF-WAE had been retired from military service and was repurposed for civilian use. Wardair operated the aircraft for a brief period before Norcanair took ownership. 5. In 1983, this historic aircraft was donated to the Western Canada Aviation Museum in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where it continues to be a cherished addition to the museum's collection. The CF-WAE serves as a testament to the rich history of Canadian aviation and the important role that the Bristol Freighter played in both military and civilian operations. 6. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the iconic Bristol Freighter in its natural habitat – an airport runway. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this historic aircraft. 7. The CF-WAE's journey from military service to civilian life and, ultimately, its preservation in a museum, is a fascinating tale of aviation history. This photograph is a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Bristol Freighter and the important role it played in the development of Canadian aviation.
