Martin Mars (Philippine Mars)

This aircraft was converted to a water bomber in 1963

In 2012 the Philippine Mars was taken out of service and repainted with its original military markings for it's debut at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Fla. But Heritage Canada blocked the move, so it sits at Sproat Lake, Port Alberni, B.C. awaiting a resolution to the dispute.

Thanks Paul. I'll be out there in a couple of weeks, I'll see if it's still there and if I can get a better shot. -: Steve
