Rumour has it that the Canso, Serial No. 11093, CF-NJL, which has for the past 25 years or more been stored in one of the hangars at Gananoque, Ontario, is to be sold to an American.
Allegedly the intention is that the aircraft be made ferry-able and it will be flown out to the new owner’s site.

Thanks for that.

The original information came from a chat with the current owner.
The plans were that the aircraft was to be made ferry-able by a team of engineers and flown to a US location for overhaul.
The US requirements for making an aircraft ferry-able are significantly less than the Canadian requirements, which would have required a fairly extensive overhaul. The aircraft has been stored indoors for the past 20+ years.
I am not located close to the Gananoque, Ontario, airfield, so I have no way of knowing if any work has yet been started.

Is there any update on this rumour?

Thanks for the heads-up! 11093 was the RCAF registration – I think the serial/construction no. is CV 435.
