hmm, looks more like a cab of a Diamond T980 to me, especially the mudguards.
Hi Chris you are write it is definitely a Diamond T but it is a 969. A 980 is the larger tank transporter.
I wish I was there!
Cheers
Jeff

George is gathering up enough stuff to put together a Carrier. One of the two in the first pic came from Yellowknife. Even with those two he doesn't have a complete track system so we went to check out the third one. When he gets it home he'll be able to make a driveable one but there's still quite a lot of parts needed to finish it.

Here's some Buffalo Air airplane pics at the Yellowknife airport. Buffalo Joe (the owner) has quite a few of these planes scattered across the Territories. I think the Electra is one of the newest he runs. His two C46s are likely the only ones still flying. He also has a few Norsemen, PBYs, etc. He has a reputation of being able to get loads into places where other outfits can't and has made quite a business out of it. That series that's coming up on Discovery Channel should be interesting.

WOW, excellent trip, I am in a history that represents 1 Can Para so seeing those C47's is a sight. If anyone is coming to Northern BC, let me know, I am not far from the rockies and will gladly give a tour or would love to have coffee with fellow restorer's.
