Hi guys gals,
I am lucky enough to have been to British Columbia on holiday in June and was also lucky enough to have stayed at a place called Edgewater Lodge in Whistler, BC.
The Lodge is on the edge of Green Lake, and as many of you will appreciate, lakes are great places for sea planes to land.
Just so happened that this was happening regularly day to day whilst we were there and I managed to get some photos, not all good, so the best I'll try and post here.
I know they aren't WWII aircraft, and most often than not they did take me by surprise when I was in my room. It also transpires that the owners, well, the guy at least, was a Mosquito pilot based up in Scotland during WWII. I had quite a good chat to him and he had nothing but praise for the Mosquito.
It also happens to be my favourite aircaft from that era, and I was really lucky to see one flying at an airshow here in the UK some time ago.
I intend getting the pics on here. Hope you like the photo's, regards,
Bob Higgins.
