EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, two iconic aircraft from de Havilland Canada take center stage: the DHC1 Chipmunk Mk22 (G-AJVD) in the foreground and the DHC2 Beaver (G-ALOW) in the background. Both planes are emblematic of Canadian aviation history and have left indelible marks on the world of transport aviation. The Chipmunk Mk22, with its distinctive red and white paint scheme, is a primary trainer that has been a staple of flying schools since its introduction in the late 1940s. Its versatile design and reliable performance have made it a favorite among pilots and students alike. The Chipmunk's open cockpit and taildragger configuration harken back to a simpler era of aviation, while its modernized engine and upgraded systems ensure a safe and enjoyable learning experience for future generations. The Beaver, represented here by G-ALOW, is a versatile workhorse that has been a mainstay of bush flying operations for over seven decades. Its distinctive float landing gear and powerful piston engines have made it an icon of Canadian aviation and a favorite among bush pilots. The Beaver's rugged design and ability to operate from unimproved airstrips and water surfaces have made it an essential tool for search and rescue, forest firefighting, and other demanding missions. Together, these two aircraft represent the rich heritage of de Havilland Canada and the enduring appeal of aviation. Whether used for training or transport, the Chipmunk and Beaver continue to inspire and captivate pilots and aviation enthusiasts around the world. This photograph is a testament to their enduring legacy and the thrill of flight.
