Tell me now, what book do you have that adds several images/pages to itself each and every day?
CAUTION: This website, really a "giant e-book", now has some 4,335 pages and at least 18,407 or so different images!!
(Not counting the hundreds of my daily "Toonies").
Over 14,207 of Beaver aircraft (my running tally - which is anything containing parts of a Beaver! - Hence different from Ian's Monthly Tally).
Even includes some videos and slide shows and large PDF presentations. WARNING: Could be very addictve.
My sincere thanks to my hard working research collegue, Ian S. Macintosh.
Thanks also to Adrian M. Balch and Ian M. Macdonald.

Don't worry - our DHC-6 Twin Otter website is gradually being refreshed by Neil & Ian!
We do this just for our own amusement and edification - you are welcome to browse.
This is primarily a back-up Archive for Ian and Neil - it may not always be up to date - we have other interests too!
Keeping our handy use of interactive thumbnails, our updated data has been completed. New data format is being implemented gradually.
This is an original © layout consistant with that of DHC-2.COM and DHC-3archive.COM
Over 277,060 unique visits logged since launched!
