Good one. I remember watching them on the river when I was a kid.

Nice shot John; I would definitely be interested in a few more Beaver shots.

By the way your Beaver is Serial No. 1557 of 1,692 originally constructed at the de Havilland plant at Downsview (Toronto) Canada.

Click the photo Ken, there are a few more of the takeoff run in my flickr stream.

Its in regular use here between Rose Bay and Pittwater (for those curious, the flickr photo is georeferenced).

According to an old post I found on the Sydney Airport Message (http://www.vpmag.com/yssy/viewtopic.php?t=13075&view=next&sid=6b53414b9d1d27172b40d63ca9eb8f30) board it was involved in the Superman movie.


Thanks for the comments everybody.
