Royal Canadian Air Force Canso A 11007

Canto Crash near Radar Hill
This is the February 8, 1945 crash site of a RCAF Canso/Catalina. It’s near Radar Hill in the Pacific Rim National Park between Ucluelet and Tofino. There’s a detailed story by Dirk Septer of the crash (at this link).

Bonus:
The trail* to the crash site winds through this abandoned building:

Abandoned Building Near Radar Hill Crash Site
* as of June 2016, the ‘trail’ from the abandoned building to the crash site was extremely muddy; it’s possible to sink your foot 6 to 12 inches into the mud—I’d wear tall rubber boots with good tread if I were going today…

After Sunset Last Evening
9:45 p.m. Looking west-northwest, 300°

Fulford Harbour and Beyond

Fulford Harbour and Beyond
The Skeena Queen heads out Fulford Harbour on its way to Swartz Bay. Salt Spring is of course on each side of the harbour. Next, in the near distance, are more Gulf Islands, then Georgia Strait.

If you look hard you can see the Vancouver area, Robert’s Bank Terminal, and on the far right, Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal.
