I found this picture in my picture file but had never posted it.
Next is a an unidentified Helio at Resolute Bay NWT '63/'64 probably while leased to Hamilton Aviation ltd AB, picture found at flicker pictures.
I opened the pictures in the queue above
I'm pretty that it is CF-IBF because of
paint scheme
the two bladed prop and the its history at the time of the picture.
Any other opinions, comments?
