Getting back on topic'n'sh!t, Task Master 77 was onto something, however no disrespect to the recent earl of piper however their research was flawed in-so-far as the authenticity of the original photograph.

I used to be in the employ of the 207-900 operator and still retain an original slide of the establishment (Now-a-days given the title of Club Canadian or something) and can provide the anonymous aviation public with a more complete historical depiction of event, as follows:



The above photo was taken some years ago, prior to some fuel truck accident.
AFAIK Dwayne is now flying 206's out of the Kimberley somewhere btw ...

Photographed above is the DHC5-800 ( I know this because the -900 has winglets and 2 overwing exits, as well as the infamous, flawed and fatal eye-brow windows). Not sure if it's still in operation today though, I heard it was being used instead of PA-31s at some company to operate 6080ft ops ...
