USAAC Consolidated 21C/D visiting Canada, 15 Sep 1931.

The Consolidated Model 21 was an American two-seat training aircraft built by the Consolidated Aircraft Company. It was used by the United States Army Air Corps with the designation PT-11 and the United States Coast Guard under the designation N4Y.The Model 21 was an aerodynamic cleaned up version of the Model 12/PT-3, one of the distinguishing features being curved instead of angular tail surfaces. The aircraft was a single-engined biplane with fixed tailwheel landing gear and accommodation for two in open cockpits.  Designated the PT-11 by the United States Army Air Corps it progressed through a number of trial variants but was not built in large numbers. 11 Examples of the model 21-C were built in Canada as the 21-M for Mexico but none were built for local use.

McDonnell CF-101B Voodoo (Serial No. 101038), ex-USAF (Serial No. 57-0368).  No. 416 “Lynx” Squadron, CFB Chatham, New Brunswick. It is painted as “Lynx One Canada” to match (Serial No. 101043) in the Atlantic Canada Aviation Museum in Nova Scotia. Voodoo bases were laid out to allow aircraft to be kept at immediate readiness at all times. A Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) facility was positioned at the end of the main runway to allow alert aircraft to launch as quickly as possible. Two aircraft and their crews were always on “five minute” alert – they were to be in the air, en-route to intercept unknown aircraft, within five minutes of receiving the order. In one instance, 416 Squadron got two alert aircraft in the air only 57 seconds after receiving the alert. Voodoos were regularly dispatched to intercept unidentified NORAD radar contacts, usually off course airliners, although 416 and 425 occasionally intercepted Soviet Tu-95 Bear bombers flying along the Atlantic coast to Cuba. Fortunately, no situation arose in which a CF-101 pilot fired his weapons in anger.

The ‘Sznycer SG-VI’ (aka Sznycer-Gottlieb SG-VI) was a single-engined three-seat utility helicopter designed and built in the United States and Canada in the late 1940s to the design of Bernard Sznycer, assisted by Selma Gottlieb and Engineering Products of Canada Ltd. (CanAmerican)

Initial design work on the SG-VI began at Philadelphia in 1943 by a team led by Bernard Sznycer, including Selma Gottlieb, Harold Pitcairn and Agnew Larsen. Pitcairn and Larsen left the partnership by August 1945 when Sznycer and Intercity Airlines of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, signed a contract for the detailed design, testing and certification of a prototype helicopter to be marketed and built by the Canadian helicopter Company.

The contract did not develop as planned and the first prototype, the SG-VI-C, was built by Engineering Products of Canada Ltd., (a BF. Goodrich subsidiary at Montreal). Construction of the first prototype commenced, but with inadequate management of resources and poor supervision of workers resulting in a lack of confidence in the safety of the aircraft. A second prototype, (SG-VI-D), was built with the sanction of Intercity Airlines and satisfactory supervision.

The SG-VI-D had a crude enclosed cabin and open tubular tailboom and was powered by an 178 hp (132.73 kW) Franklin 6GA4-165-BGF engine positioned horizontally above the tailboom driving a four-bladed main rotor with a complex control system. Given the registration CF-FGG-X and named Grey Gull, the SG-VI-D gained its type certificate in February 1951, becoming the first Canadian and British Commonwealth helicopter to do so.

After certification the SG-VI-D was re-engined with a 200 hp (149.14 kW) Franklin 6A4-200-C6 engine and offered to investors for development and production as the SG-VI-E. Sznycer eventually sold the helicopter and production rights to an investor from Brooklyn who failed to capitalize on his investment, ending the development of the SG-VI.

Presently the sole remaining prototype is preserved at the Reynolds Alberta Museum, Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Canada. (Reynolds Museum. Government of Alberta)
