1 JAN 07: ORIGINAL 1952 CANADIAN BEECH 18

Survivor
A pristine and original 1952 Beech 18 will be displaying at airshows across Europe during 2007.
Bought by Danish import specialists, Opmas, the former Royal Canadian Air Force 3NM ‘Expeditor’ will also be used as a company aircraft.

Now renamed ‘Great Danes’, the Beech 18 twin was manufactured in 1952 for the Canadian government for use as a navigation trainer. However it was never used for that purpose but was instead operated as a general purpose aircraft right up until 1991.

“Total time is close to 7500 hours,” Frank Hansen of Opmas told LOOP. “There are five high-backed reclining seats although only four are in use, with a Beech pull-out table.

“The original Beech potty is also included as well as all of the original cabin equipment such as the crash axe, flare gun, sextant, astro compass, fore and aft relief tubes, first aid kit etc.
“It has always been hangared and is immaculate inside and out. This is truly a survivor of rare quality.”
