EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Saunders ST-27 C-GYCR (msn 004 - 14059), a remarkable aircraft with an intriguing history. Originally, this aircraft began its life as a Royal Air Force Heron CC.3 XH375. After its military service, it was converted by Saunders Aircraft in Canada and given the designation ST-27. The aircraft's registration number changed to CF-YAP following the conversion. Subsequently, C-GYCR was transferred to ACES Colombia and flew under the registration HK-1287. In the late 1980s or 1990s, the aircraft returned to Canada and joined the Cite Express fleet, taking on the registration C-GYCR. The Saunders ST-27 C-GYCR is a testament to the versatility of aircraft conversions. Its military origins as a Heron CC.3 are barely recognizable in this photograph, as it gracefully takes to the sky. With its distinctive design and rich history, this aircraft is a fascinating addition to any aviation enthusiast's collection. The exact date of this photograph is unknown, but it captures a moment in time during the 1980s or 1990s when this Saunders ST-27 was in operation. This image offers a glimpse into the world of aeronautical transport and the fascinating journey of this aircraft from military service to civilian use and back again.
