#OTDH April 6, 1962 – The #RCAF’s last Consolidated PBY-5A Canso flying boat, belonging to 162 Squadron, at Downsview, Ontario, takes flight for the last time during a squadron reunion.

162 Squadron flew Cansos throughout the war; the squadron sank five U-Boats and one of its members, Flight Lieutenant David Hornell, was awarded the Victoria Cross. After the war, the RCAF used Cansos for search and rescue, Arctic survey and other transport roles.

This is an undated file photo of a post-war search and rescue Canso.  DND Archives
