Belated report of the February ops at Red Lake - Part 3

Right, so I caught a local charter back down to Red Lake...
It took us few days waiting for the arrival of a spare Gypsy engine, service it and get it ready for transport to Joe's.
On the 18th we were ready and booked a combined flight for the delivery of the engine to Burntwood lake, with charter to pick up 6 passengers at Munroe lake for their return flight to Red lake...

I did mark the flights on this map (it's LARGE :-))



... and there's some snapshots of this flight too, naturally.
For this flight I used the old Beech 18 'Severin' out of Chimo's hangar and guess what?
It was a cold and wintery day :-)

enroute...   approach to Joe's...   approach to Munroe lake...


Munroe lake cabin...   flying towards Valhalla lake...  landing at Chimo...



Oops! now, where did leave my report accounting for the 'move' of the Auster from Joe's to Pikangikum?

Brick
