This photograph showcases the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver 2, registration number G-ANAR (msn 80), at the 1958 SBAC Farnborough Air Show. The Beaver 2 is a significant aircraft in aviation history, as it was the first prototype built in Canada and flew for the first time on March 10, 1953, piloted by George Neal.

In this image, the Beaver 2 is showcased in its prime, embodying the sleek design and innovative features that made it a standout among its contemporaries. The aircraft was later re-imported to Canada in 1971 and fitted with floats, but this photograph captures its early days as an international sensation. The Beaver 2's legacy continues to inspire aviation enthusiasts and pilots alike, making this image a must-have for any aviation collection.
