AIR SERVICE SECTION 



During the fiscal year, five DeHavilland Turbo Beavers and 

 one Model 60 Beechcraft Duke were purchased. Five piston- 

 powered Beavers and one Grumman Super Widgeon were 

 sold by public tender. 



The "Ontario Integral Float Water Bombing System" was 

 installed in four of the new aircraft bringing the total water 

 bomber fleet to ten Otters, twenty-seven Turbo Beavers and 

 one Twin Otter. One Turbo Beaver is equipped with 

 amphibious wheel-floats and is capable of operation from 

 water or airports. 



Gelgard fire retardant dispensing systems are installed in 

 thirty-four of the water bombers, i.e. six Otters, twenty- 

 seven Turbo Beavers and one Twin Otter. Experimental 

 testing using Phoscheck 202 and Firetrol long term fire re- 

 tardants were carried out in water bombing aircraft; these 

 tests will continue in 1969-70.
