CF-GQQ in the Nakina area after engine failure and emergency landing!
Reg wrote: Take-off, 150 feet up, engine failed, room ahead, land straight ahead is the rule.

Don't remember much about what happened later, only that I was on a train going to Sudbury to pick up CF-MAP, another Beaver at Ramsay Lake on January 21st.

I was picked up by Jimmy Bell and Hal McCracken at the station and dropped off at the hangar as they were going to see how the changeovers were going. Flew CF-MAP back to Nakina on the 23rd of January 1970, and flew it until September 17th, 1970.
