Remarks by Jack McKillop: "This is one of ten CSR-110s similar to the USAF's SA-16B but powered by 1,525 hp Canadian Wright-built R-1820-82 nine-cylinder single-row air-cooled radial engines; these aircraft also had a triphibian landing gear. All ten rescue aircraft were delivered in 1960-61 and stationed in Canada at the RCAF Stations Greenwood (Nova Scotia), Trenton (Ontario), Winnipeg (Manitoba) and Comox (British Columbia). The last aircraft was surveyed in 1971." |
