1953 Norseman CF-BSE or CF-PAA of Goldbelt Airways on floats from Bachelor Lake Quebec to Noranda Quebec- not sure of the Reg as I was riding in Mom's belly - think I was listed as Cargo and probably "Dangerous Goods"
Mom and Dad ran the floatplane base for Goldbelt there - 2 log cabins and a lot of 45 gal drums of fuel. Pilots would divert from miles around on the most flimsy excuses if they knew Mom was baking apple pie ( in a wood oven )
First flight I remember was also in a Goldbelt Norseman on skis when I was 3 or 4 - it was noisy.
I still remember the first time I saw an airplane on wheels - couldn't understand where he would land. Dad told me about airports. Seemed a strange concept with so many good lakes around to go to the effort of constructing a runway. Dad took me to the airport to watch an Trans Canada airlines DC-3 land and depart. As I had seen DC-3s on skis it took me a while to understand the airport concept.
