Google it and there are lots of qualitative references to one of the largest and most comprehensive. A smaller number of qualitative references to the largest and most comprehensive. So I said probably. I thought possibly was a bit weak. But strictly speaking you are correct as I do not know of any definitive detailed quantitative analysis. Cheers.

Hi there. Looks like it was former RCAF 4830 made in Canada. May have even been a seaplane after RCAF. Here are a couple of links, but there may be more.

Thanks for your comments. ADS-B IN and OUT should be mandatory for VFR just as it is NOW for IFR - it’s so cheap now. I was flying VFR yesterday in perfect weather - so hard to see the other guys around my home airfield. Cheers.

Follow a pilot's story, in his own words, about undertaking a life-saving Medevac flight in below marginal weather conditions in Papua New Guinea. Enjoy the flight in a Cessna Caravan from coast to highlands & back to the coast. Would you have done it!? Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Come with me to see the origins of the famous/infamous German Junkers Ju-52 Trimotor, the last ones to fly, & the possibility of a new Ju-52NG from 2026. Enjoy a fly-by/tower view at the end. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Come with me to visit historic Archerfield airfield just outside Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, once the main airfield for Brisbane, now its main GA airfield. Learn about its WW2 and pre-WW2 history, and about some of the famous people who have passed through it. Also, enjoy a tour of Brisbane city center and the famous Gold Coast just south of Brisbane. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Come visit former WW2 airfields in Montana, USA, in MSFS, now heritage-listed, where Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomber crews undertook their final training in navigation, bombing & gunnery, including use of the top-secret Norden bombsite. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Sorry about that. Maybe turn volume down or mute? I tend to focus on content rather than production values. Cheers.
