Here is a photo of Beechcraft 18 CF-MCH at Malton in the summer of 1959. Having started its life in US military colours, it became N6424C. After the war, then "MCH" in 1956 for Maritime Central Airways (MCA) based at Charlottetown. In 1960, it was acquired by Curran and Briggs, a Toronto public works company which had obtained major contracts during the Second War world to build aerodromes for the RCAF as well as for the Alaska Highway. After the war, the company obtained other contracts ranging from highway 401 in Ontario to the Churchill Falls hydroelectric project in Labrador. With such sites everywhere in Canada, using an airplane is obvious. However, when the recession began, "MCH" was sold. Subsequently, its destiny was not known, apart from that it was struck off from the registration register in July 1964. In the photo, "MCH" seems very chic with its aluminum finish brilliant, its white roof and its green forest strips. Note also, the logo of the company present on the nose. Photo Larry Milberry. |
