de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver

A new addition to the Museum collection arrived in August, 2020. The Beaver is the iconic Canadian bushplane. Unfortunately, it is not a full-size aircraft, but fortunately it is a magnificent model of a Beaver in full dress of the RCMP. What could be more Canadian – a Canadian designed and built aircraft flown by the country’s national police agency and on display at the Canadian Museum of Flight?

The 1/8 scale model was donated by builder, Taylor Sapergia who re-assembled the aircraft at the Museum. It is in the 1972 paint scheme of the original aircraft, registered CF-MPR.

Thank you, Taylor!
