Remarks by Jack McKillop: "This is one of ten CSR-110s similar to the USAF's SA-16B but powered by 1,525 hp (1,137 kW) 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: RCAF Greenwood, Nova Scotia; RCAF Trenton Ontario; RCAF Winnipeg, Manitoba; and RCAF Comox, British Columbia. The last aircraft was surveyed in 1971." |
