Patricia Bay
aka: Pat Bay
aka 2: The
Catalina Graveyard, in 1952
Patricia Bay extends east from Saanich Inlet
and forms part of the shoreline of North Saanich, BC
Pat Bay Air operates out of Patricia Bay ca 2012
I am sure other airlines do as well.
These photos show the recycling involved
in old plane parts, required to keep these old
planes flying for years past their regular life.
Grant Walker, and his brother Ayce, were involved,
in the removal of spare parts.
their father Bud, took the photos below.
Parts would have been used in Associated Air Taxi
planes
and possibly other airline planes as well.
The factories the planes were made in,
were closed down years before.
Today airlines are searching for DC3 parts, etc.
Only way they can keep them flying, is old parts.
I'm sure each part is thoroughly checked before use today.
Back then makes you wonder!
