it would have been a great prison ship – stuff all of the convicted rioters on it and set it adrift

that would have saved the tax payers some money

There was an article on Stephen Quinto and Sagittair in Propliner magazine not so long ago. Full story on their Beech 18 and Argosy operations. Might be worth checking out.

Hi,

The remnants of Canadian marks may well have come from the bogus marks applied for the BBC film (see history below):

A-850 D18S N2051D deliv to dealer Ohio Aviation & then to E.W. Bliss, Canton, OH 31Oct52. Reg’d & CofA to Bavaria Fluggesellschaft AG, W Germany 26May59 as D-IANA. To Handley Page Ltd, St Albans, UK arrived at Radlett 29Mar66 & reg’d 10May66 as G-ATUM. Reg canx 18Oct68. To Shackleton Aviation Ltd, London, UK BS 9Aug68 for $3,106. Deliv to Baginton for storage. Transf to US owner 18Oct68. To Aviation Enterprises Inc, Cedarburg, WI BS 12Nov68 & reg’d N15750 on same day. CofA 18Mar69 with 3,167 hrs TT. FF in US marks 28Mar69 from Badington. To Stephen Quinto/Sagittair, Cookham Dean, UK BS 3Dec69 & reg’d 23Jan70. Moved to Lasham in Jan71 for work but that was stopped in Aug71 (lack of parts). The Aeroplane Collection accepted it. US reg revoked 14Nov73. Dismantled & moved by road from Lasham to Corgath National Scenic Area, Scotland 3Feb77 by the BBC for use in filming a story of cannibalism after the crash of a Beech 3N (CF-RLD A-626) in Canada. Damage done during the dismantling made it unrestorable & it was left derelict at the site of the filming. Still there in ‘86. Compiled by Bob Parmerter.

I’m always interested in additions and corrections to the history.

Hi Bob

glad to see you over here

i guess i should have sent you an email to ask about this puzzle

it is still a puzzle mind as the fin is marked internally with CA-149 which crashed in the 60’s with RCAF

so how could the 2 ever get together i wonder – a RCAF fin from CA-149 on N15750 aka CF-RLD.

cheers

yes, i saw the abpic pics

annoying isn’t it

yes it does look like it could be – i will check to see if there is the remains one on the port fin

didn’t spot any red paint and from the top picture the fin looks to be white on the inner vertical surface

will check in a min and post later
