It was first made in 1965 as a slow-speed turbo-prop (meaning it could go 80 knots without falling out of the sky) with high fixed wings and two engines, seated 2 pilots and up to 6 passengers. DeHaviland DHC-6 is what they called them; before 1965 they made the DHC-3 in a similar version. Both were made in Canada but many were sold to Uncle Sam, especially to the Air Force. By 1980 there were over 800 of them! I wish I could post a picture here, as they are quite graceful looking.<BR/><BR/>And guess how much that Triumph 650 would be worth today! Man!<BR/><BR/>-SamSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904821424581969401noreply@blogger.com
