Lambair was, and still is, a great Canadian aviation story, and I have "Posted" info previous regarding the company. The company operated during a "peak" aviation era in Canada, and it is too bad those days are gone. It was a company where one had potential for advancement, and the ability to acquire great skills due to the diverse types of aircraft the company operated. Bristol Freighters, Curtiss Commandos, DC-3s, helicopters, Norsemans, Otters, Beavers, among others. The ability to fly floats, wheels, and skis made it a "Yes, We Can" company. Anyways, I have some more images from the "Lambair Historical Archives", showing some company "hardware" from the "Arctic" to the "East Coast"!

The Lambair mechanics could always "resurrect" their equipment.

Yes, great images! I am sure all the people involved with Lambair and similar aviation companies from the past have a "treasure trove" of memories stored "cranially", and it sure is a delight when the "old-timers" see fit to share them! Today, the last word of my "Post" goes to a Lambair machine and employees, as they try to rescue her from the "bane" of all ski pilots........
