No, it just looks a little different because of the smaller cargo door with the square window, makes it look longer. As for the year, I'm guessing somewhere around 1946, not sure. The motor has sat for 40 years without being turned over. I loaded it up on the trailer and took these pictures; these are also the first pictures in 40 years. My son took it back up north and hasn't really done too much to it yet.

  Yes ELVIS is still alive !! And he has a old bomber too. He moved from Graceland to live here in seclusion, but I found him !!  Yes his name is  ELVIS...... FELTHAM. He lives in Glovertown, here on the island.

Here's the photo. It says it was taken at the Military Snowmobile (Bombardier) Manufacturing plant at Valcourt, Quebec in March, 1943.

Once again, I see the cargo doors with the square windows that they must have used for the military machines.
 

   It looks like there is an XL large gas tank back behind the rad. Think the rad door will close over it ??

  I know this is nothing to do with bombers, but I thought everyone would like to see Grfishmaker in person !!!  ha ha ha


  Grfishmaker did you know that you will always be remembered here on the island ?? It's like having your likeness etched in stone. Every time I go to Corner Brook, on the way back home I know you are always watching over me.

Poppy Mercer holding Cheryl in Northern Manitoba (Kinosao Sipi Cree Nation/Norway House?) with unknown man. Bombardier B12 snow machine with Manitoba plates. Late 1940s ('49 on plate).

  Could that be you Grfishmaker or KPM.....
