Beaver

De Haviland (Canada) BeaverThe Beaver was first flown by Russ Bannock in 1947 and was De Havilands Canadian subsiduary's second Indigenous aircraft design, (the first being the DHC-1 Chipmunk). Like the Chipmunk, the Beaver became a huge international success with the majority of the 1,692 aircraft manufactured being exported to 63 countries. Such is the high regard the beaver is held, that in 1987 the Canadian Engineering Society gave the aircraft one of their ten outstanding engineering awards, it has even been depicted on a Canadian stamp and coin. Fifty five years after it's first flight the Beaver is still working hard and seems to show no indication of retiring. |
