The wing was the only part salvaged. Interesting to note it was built as a 340,after the fire it was rebuilt as a 440 (no two convairs are the same). Air chathams purchased the aircraft from Kelowna, it was not leased.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172387939495342053.post-26738929108407987862013-10-03T20:36:35.092+13:002013-10-03T20:36:35.092+13:00Intriguing nonetheless.

So when it was "rebuilt" in 1955 did they use parts/sections from the original aircraft (ie the cockpit section)? Seems like quite an involved process. dhcomethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08662361692524295254noreply@blogger.com
