Roland "Rollie" Hammerstedt November 5 1931 – July 21 2017 By James C. Retson Last Revised February 25 2021 Rolland, son of Wilhelm (Bill) and Helga Olsen, was born in Lac Du Bonnet, Manitoba, on November 5, 1931. His only brother Murray died 30 Nov 1945 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He married his first wife Ann who died in 2001. They had one child., Derek Hammerstedt b.1970 Kenora, d, 1998 Kenora He married his second wife Sirley in Kenora. Ed Hanratty of Ontario Central Airlines over a beer talked Rollie into coming to work in Kenora.i After Ed Hanratty left, Rollie quit after a dispute with Jimmy Hogg.s Hanratty’s replacement, over failure to changing brake lines on a plane on a timely basis. He continued working directly on contract with Barney Lamn the owner of the company He was an entrepreneur, accomplished airplane mechanic and overall master of trades. He retired from Redditt Aviation in 1999. It was his last adventure, working and forging incredible friendships with Don Wieben and the Fairview Aircraft Restoration Society team, that would mark Rollie's final years. The project of restoring a Canso, a large amphibian aircraft built for submarine spotting during the Second World War, would draw on his encyclopedic knowledge about aircraft, as well as his tools and time. The Canso gang said that the project would never have been completed without Rollie's help, but it was finished earlier in 2017. Rollie was too ill with throat cancer to attend when the plane made its first flight in sixteen years this past July but his spirit was definitely there. After the flight. Don and some of the team brought memorabilia and their gratitude to Rollie at his Kenora home. It was an amazing time as they shared stories and got to see the old hangar that was so much a part of Rollie's life in Redditt. Rolland died July 21 2017 in Kenora, Ontario Sources Obituary https://passages.winnipegfreepress.com/passage-details/id-247633/HAMMERSTEDT_ROLAND accessed February 25 2021 Zaruk, Ed, Ontario Central Airlines, The Kenora Years, Haakon Publishing i Zaruk, Ed Ontatio Central Airway, The Kenora Years, page 143 .

BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas Between 1945 and 1957)
Last updated 10 March 2021 BEECH 18 PRODUCTION LIST Compiled by Geoff Goodall PART 2: BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas between 1945 and 1957) Beech D18S VH-FIE (A-808) flown by owner Rod Lovell at Mangalore, Victoria in April 1984. Photo by Geoff Goodall The D18S was the first new commercial Beechcraft model at the end of World War II. It began a production run of 1,800 Beech 18 variants for the post-war market (D18S, D18C, E18S, G18S, H18), all built by Beech Aircraft Company at their Wichita Kansas plant. The “S” suffix indicated it was powered by the reliable 450hp P&W Wasp Junior series. The first D18S c/n A-1 was first flown in October 1945 at Beech field, Wichita. On 5 December 1945 the D18S received CAA Approved Type Certificate No.757, the first to be issued to any post-war aircraft. The first delivery of a new model D18S to a customer departed Wichita the following day. From 1947 the D18C model was available as an executive version with more powerful 525hp Continental R-9A radials, also offered as the D18C-T passenger transport approved by CAA for feeder airlines. Beech assigned c/n prefix "A-" to D18S production, and "AA-" to the small number of D18Cs. Total production of the D18S, D18C and Canadian Expediter Mk.3 models was 1,035 aircraft.

Photo by Chris O’Neill First flown at Grumman’s newly established plant at Bethpage NY on 29 May 1937, the Goose proved to be an outstanding aircraft in both civil and military use. All models were built with variants of the 450hp P&W R-985 Wasp Junior engines. Goose production totalled 345 aircraft, ending in October 1945 at Bethpage. After WWII, military disposals Gooses were in high demand. After civil certification they were put to work in a wide variety of demanding roles, from hauling freight down the Aleutian island chain in Alaska, carrying holiday makers from Los Angeles area to Catalina Island 26 miles across the Bay in the words of a popular 1950s hit song. Others flew as executive machines, carring captains of industry to remote lakes for hunting and fishing. Numerous maintenance companies offered Goose modifications to improve performance or extend airframe life. Prominent among these was McKinnon Enterprises Inc at Sandy, Oregon, which marketed a range of upgrades, including turboprop engines. McKinnon models are detailed at the end of this listing.
