My chief pilot and I took del of DH6# 39 in 1967 and ferried to Guyana.
The caption of #39 in your records indicated it crashed into a mountain en route Georgetown to Lethem which is incorrect since I was the Capt of a DH4 Caribou flying in the area when 8R-GCP disappeared and was involved in a search of this flight that evening.
On Monday 3rd. December 1973, the Guyana Airways Corporation Twin Otter Aircraft 8R-GCP, crashed during a flight from Ekereku to Kurupung (about 140 nm SW of Georgetown). It did hit a mountain top on descent to Kurupung.
Great job putting together the website of DH6s. After leaving Guyana in 1974 I flew DH6s and DH8s for NorOntair based in Sault Ste Marie,Ontario from 1976 until 1987.
Keep up the good work.
