The museum’s example was donated by Conair Aviation of Abottsford British Columbia. Conair is a world leader inaerial fire fighting technology. This particular aircraft is an A-26 B and the faired over gun ports can be seen in the nose. Upon its retirement as a water bomber, it was donated to the museum. It was decided to keep the airplane in its fire fighting configuration. This is in recognition of the yeoman work done by the airplane in this province. This is the only water bomber conversion preserved in a museum today. -- grounded
