kev35, I think you are on the right track, Shaibah is mentioned in the notes with these photos often ! A little something for yourself and all of the other Knowledgeable persons here to discuss ?
I am still confused about the underwing markings ?

Yes, I would like to make this collection more public, but must also respect the fact that it is a part of someones personal history !
Having said that, there was a fantastic photo of a biplane (fighter type) with its nose buried in sand (desert) ? With both what looked like RAF roundels(sp) and swasticas on the lower wing ???

confused !

Thats a piece of good news, thank you for posting that Peter.
I am so sorry to see the pics of a crashed York, being a firm Yorkist ! since my youth (see avitar).
I have just looked in ‘Aviation Safety Network’ at the hull losses and find there were no less than seven in Canada in the mid 50’s.
Construction of the DEW line radar was tough ! these people were fighting against almost impossibe conditions, not just the weather.

Incidents of hull losses only, I assume there would have been many more unrecorded incidents ?

CF-HMZ. 11 04 55. Associated Airways. Yellowknife.

CF-HMX. 12 04 55. Artic Wings. Hall Lake.

CF-HMY. 26 05 55. Associated Airways. Edmonton.

CF-HMV. 29 09 55. Associated Airways. Yellowknife.

CF-HMU. 24 01 56. Maritime Central. Kuujjuaq.

CF-HFP. 13 09 56. Pacific Western. Cape Perry.

CF-HFQ. 13 09 56. Trans Air. Fox.

In all of these incidents, although one is too many, loss of life was small.

Keith Newsome.

60 years ago this year there was ‘The Berlin Airlift’, I think it still holds some records for tonnage delivered, aircraft sorties, etc.
UK plc played a very important part in this, both civil and military, there is a small amount of footage out there, must be more unseen, played a large part in establishing some post war British independant airlines, and established a few real British characters ?
That for me would make a very good subject !
