    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.

THE TRANSITION TO SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (SMS) IN AVIATION: IS CANADA DEREGULATING FLIGHT SAFETY? RENE´ DAVID-COOPER* ABSTRACT In 2013, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) adopted Annex 19 to the Chicago Convention to implement Safety Management Systems (SMS) for airlines around the world. While most ICAO Member States worldwide are still in the early stages of introducing SMS, Canada became the first and only ICAO country in 2008 to fully implement SMS for all Canadian-registered airlines. This article will highlight the documented shortcomings of SMS in Canada during the implementation of the first ever SMS framework in civil aviation. While air carriers struggled to un- derstand and introduce SMS into their operations, this article will illustrate how Transport Canada (TC) did not have the knowledge or the necessary resources to properly guide airline operators during this transition, how SMS was improperly tai- lored for smaller air carriers, and how the Canadian govern- ment canceled safety inspections around the country, leaving many air carriers partially unregulated.

  • The Chatham Naval Air Station
    Chatham Naval Air Station AT THE ATWOOD HOUSE by spencer grey People whose houses are located on Nickerson Neck in Chathamport most likely know that between 1917 and 1922, 36 acres of their neighborhood was the location of one of the Naval Air Stations that were established in the expectation that the United States would most likely be drawn into the war that was causing turmoil in Europe. Germany had deployed a number of their U- Boats throughout the Atlantic Ocean, and they clearly would be a threat to navigation in this area. Before construction of their houses had begun, there were large sections covered with cement, the remains of the floors of the hangars. The base consisted of living quarters for the personnel stationed there, hangars, a boat house, a hospital, repair shops, maintenance buildings and a pigeon loft. The latter was required because radio communications between the planes and the station were not reliable, but pigeons could be counted on to carry messages back to the base. Once the support buildings were in place, four Curtiss R-9s were delivered to the station. A few months later, four Curtiss HS-11 flying boats arrived at the Chatham Depot and were trucked to the base, where they were assembled. Once in service, these planes were used to patrol two areas, one to the north and another to the south, to keep a watch out for U-Boats in the surrounding waters. Because of the real possibility of a crash landing, the planes were equipped with emergency rations, water for three days, a flashlight, a flare pistol with red and green cartridges, a sea anchor, life preservers, a signal book, and local charts.

  • Mysterious Mils
    Summer 2020 MysteriousMissing MiG Mystery Mils Kamov & Ilyushin In mid June, aviation buffs in Victoria were treated to the sight of a Russian Ilyushin Il-76TD landing on a bright sunny day. This giant of the sky was here to transport one of Vancouver Island Helicopters Kamov-52 coaxial rotor helicopters to Indonesia. The Ilyushin is owned and operated by Volga Dnepr. It is a modernized and ICAO compliant version of the old Il-76 Candid used by the Soviet air force during the cold war. The Kamov helicopter will be used to fight forest fires in Indonesia. The spectacle of Russian aircraft lifting Russian helicopters reminded me of something that happened years ago when I worked at Edmonton International airport. One cold February afternoon in the late eighties, I was leaving for home. I couldn't believe my eyes. Parked by a hangar were two Russian helicopters. One was a Mil 8 (Hip) transport the other a Mil 24 (Hind) attack helicopter. These choppers were painted in bright blue and white colors instead of their usual drab camouflage. A day later an Antonov 124 (Condor) arrived. This huge aircraft was marshaled into a confined ramp area. The turn radius was so tight that the right main landing gear was damaged. There it sat for 10 days while the crew figured out a fix. Then the Hip and the Hind were loaded into the cavernous cargo hold of the Antonov. Then in the middle of a snow storm off they went into a black Alberta sky! Nothing was ever explained.
