EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver floatplane CF-GQB (msn 71) of the Ontario Provincial Air Service (OPAS), gracefully moored on the Toronto waterfront around 1965. The Beaver, a versatile and iconic aircraft, was a favorite among Canadian aviators for its ability to take off and land on water and short strips. In this image, its distinctive silhouette is reflected in the calm waters, showcasing its unique design features such as the large float landing gear and the open cockpit. The Ontario Provincial Air Service, established in 1920, was responsible for providing essential aviation services to various government departments and agencies across Ontario. The Beaver floatplanes, like CF-GQB, were an integral part of their fleet, enabling them to reach remote areas for search and rescue, forest firefighting, and other crucial missions. The serene atmosphere of this image belies the Beaver's rugged capabilities and the vital role it played in serving the people of Ontario. With the Toronto skyline in the background, this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, when aviation technology and natural beauty harmoniously coexisted.
