IMPORTANT ITEM - Please Read: Those of you who know me well will have had an e-mail about this subject already.Thank you for helping Erik. Here is his story. We have worked together for many a year. He has been a great help with my DHC-2, DHC-3 and DHC-6 websites during that time. We need to help him in his hour of great need. He will have to re-locate, probably away from the very expensive Toronto area. I will let Erik explain in his own words.

Please click on his photo - thank you.

Photo taken in my studio in 2012

Update: To date, his GoFundMe has passed the half way mark to target! Wonderful participation by 68 folk so far!! - Have you helped out?

Aviation experts consider the de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver to be one of the most perfectly designed small utility aircraft ever built.

The DHC-2 Beaver Yahoo Group is now inactive.

I have left the archives there, if some of you want to dig in and learn from previous postings, and look at photographs added by members over the last twelve years!

FaceBook now fills this niche. Time to move on!

de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver

INTRO: Tracking Beavers worldwide! I wish I had special tracking software for doing this, but alas, it's just a slow, pleasant slog.

News comes in from correspondents around the globe daily, without your eagle eyes in the field, I would surely miss some DHC-2 activity.

Digital photographs are welcome, slides and photographs require more work for me with my imaging software. I can scan and return the same day if you are willing to part with rare images from your collection. Many correspondents do this already! By doing this I can expand the website for us all to enjoy. I also try to buy slides every now and then as our donated funds permit. If you wish to donate your treasured slides, I will scan and eventually (when I croak!) they will go to Archives Canada. (If they will take them!)

Please keep your cameras handy, remember what is a daily scene for you is a delight for others, and history tomorrow! Even if you are on a hunting or fishing trip, take a snap of the Beaver that took you there.
