'Shuffle & Shake', the quick charters
On the job at Red Lake and surroundings
Sorry, not a long or interesting story this time; I just had to go out and 'do the thing' ... I think they call it 'work' :-).
Anyway, I still managed to gather a few pics and transcripts from onther sources ...

"Hello,
Just a quick word from Coop here ...
Sir Brick asked me to let you know that he's out on the job.
He's still here at CYRL, but already throttling up the engines of a loaded DC-4, about to taxi out to rwy08
-engine roar, no.3 starting-
... for a cargo flight to Pickle Lake and probably beyond (I think he mentioned Sioux Lookout too)
He said he would keep the channel open, just in case ...
So, he'll be in the air, here and there, for the next few hours -probably-
Cheers,
Coop"

"Hi Coop,
Brick here ...
Yes, I'm at Pickle Lake, I'm having a coffee and a smoke.
The Big Four is parked and they've started unloading her; that might take some time though.
OK, listen, I've found me the next charter and will be leaving in, say, 10 to 15 minutes. Only need to do the pre-flight checks; she's already loaded and ready to go ...
Say what? No, it's a Time Air Shorts 330 ... Right, cargo only and headed for Sioux Lookout.
Hey, mate, got to go now, if you don't mind ... Talk to you later, OK?
Cheers,
Brick"
