Norwich the assets of Maritime Central were acquired around that time by Eastern Provincial Airways. EPA bought two of their own machines, CF-EPI and CF-EPC. They also took CF-NAF and CF-NAC that had been slated for Nordair. NAF was lost to an explosive decompression and inflight breakup while climbing out from Halifax on March 17, 1965. The breakup was caused by corrosion underneath the forward lav.

I was surprised to read that you filed 200 kt with the Herald. I thought it would have been a little faster. We operated a Fairchild F model F-27, and filed 240 in the winter and 230 in the summer.
