Diorama idea with a modified 427 SOAS-operated CL415 on the waves and a JTF-2 assault boat driving up the ramp with high value prisoners and wounded on board.

Another news story on the TV a couple of nights ago about the De Havilland 515.  It looks like they'll be using the Viking hangar in Calgary for the final assemble of the 515. The story also said about 500 jobs will be created too ---

When the 515 first started being reported, it was to be CL-214's converted to turbo-prop and other enhancements which would make it better than the CL-415. The news story was saying the new 515 would be bigger than the existing aircraft, but I'm not sure about that.
