Royal Canadian Navy S2 Tracker 1528 June 1969 possibly at Victoria.
The Grumman S2 tracker was a very successful 1950s designed twin radial engine maritime search and surveillance aircraft that was first ordered by the US Navy as a carrier based aircraft in the 1950s. It remained in front line active service with the US Navy through to the 1980s and also found a welcome home in Canada with the Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian Armed Forces into the 1990s.
We hope you enjoy the Canadian Forces S2 Grumman Tracker images taken by Dr. John Blatherwick which span from the 1960s to the mid 1970s. Thank you very much for visiting this page, and enjoy!
