Martin Mars DVD                                                                    (click below image for larger format) Martin Mars DVD
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 access and filmed this historic visit using broadcast cameras. This DVD features an amazing flightdeck ride from start to end with live ATC. The video camera was anchored down for top quality video capture. This DVD also features TV news reports, a company promo, interviews, and plenty of exterior footage. Two bonus tracks feature the complete day one arrival at Vancouver Harbour and the complete engine warm up sequence (filmed onboard). A must-have DVD for propliner fans!
