The world's last two Martin Mars are operated by Coulson Flying
Tankers based at Sproat Lake, near Port Alberni on Vancouver
Island. Built just as WWII came to end, the two Mars are highly
effective fire fighting aircraft that have worked the BC coast since
the late 1950s. Being the world's last operational examples of the
great flying boat era, the Mars attract attention everywhere.
In January, 2008, Hawaii Mars C-FLYL was based in Vancouver
Harbour for the annual Truck Loggers convention held at Canada
Place. The Mars flew daily wowing crowds with a water drop right
in front of Canada Place attracting extensive media coverage.
Airline videographer Henry Tenby had exclusive filming access to
this historic visit. This DVD starts with a company promo followed
by exterior pro-shot video of the Martin Mars performing its
demo flight in Vancouver Harbour from start to end. Next is an
amazing flightdeck ride (different footage than DVD Part 1) with
live capture roaring engine audio (instead of ATC). Then F/E
Roy Copeland takes us on a fascinating on-board tour of
the Mars at Sproat Lake. A must-have DVD for propliner fans!
