Mystery Crash
Read about it on the Seabee News Page

Update!
The following was received by me today (March 9th). Our sincere condolences to the Calvert family from the Seabee Club. Steve M.

"The 'Seabee Mystery Crash' story in the Hangar news....
it not a mystery toour family. My brother, Glen Calvert happened upon your site recently and sent the page to myself. The crash occurred on June 2nd, 1972...My father, Ken Calvert and his best friend Dale were flying from Richmond, B.C. To Lac La Hache....and crashed on route to landing in the nearby lake. I would appreciate, if you would be able to connect our family to Shea De La Mare...we have an interest in visiting the site...this coming June 2nd..which is the 38th anniversary of our Father's death. Please contact me. Regards, Brent W. Calvert"

Do you have the required Franklin Reverse placard?

Reverse Placard

Jim Poel has had a few made up and has kindly donated them to us. There is a very limited supply.
These are only required for Franklin powered Seabees.

If you need one and ONLY IF YOU NEED ONE, send $2 to cover shipping and I will get one out to you. Send your name, address and serial number of your Seabee (you must be an IRSOC member to get one. New members welcome!) to Steve at smestler@pbtcomm.net.


The dimensions of the palcard are 1.25" x 2" (or 32mm x 54mm)
