Vickers PBY Plant in Montreal
Just looked up a book called "Canada's War in the Air 1943" by Leslie Roberts.Photos captioned.The first amphib Canso built & launched was the "Princess Alice"christened by her,the then wife of Canada's Govenor General.The aircraft serial # is 9806.While working on the pier about 15 yrs ago,the building & launch ramp were still there.Now,only the water ramp remains,as the area is now part of Canada Maritime's container yard.
