EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Mk. III Turbo-Beaver, registration CF-OEI (msn 1647/TB-26), during its tenure with the Ontario Provincial Air Service (OPAS) for the Department of Lands and Forests between 1966 and 1974. The DHC-2 Mk. III Turbo-Beaver, a versatile and powerful variant of the original Beaver design, is seen here in flight against a backdrop of the Canadian wilderness. The Turbo-Beaver was an essential asset for the Department of Lands and Forests, providing aerial support for various tasks including forest firefighting, surveying, and patrols. The Ontario Provincial Air Service operated a fleet of these aircraft, which were renowned for their reliability and adaptability in challenging environments. The Turbo-Beaver, with its distinctive turboprop engine, offered increased performance and efficiency compared to its piston-engine counterparts. This allowed OPAS to carry out their duties more effectively and efficiently, particularly in remote and rugged areas where access was limited. This photograph, taken circa 1970, captures the essence of Canadian aviation and the vital role that aircraft like the DHC-2 Mk. III Turbo-Beaver played in the country's natural resource management. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of the de Havilland Canada Beaver and its continued relevance in the realm of aeronautical transport.
