Bill Thompson's 1938 N3N Floatplane

I was invited to help a friend take two boats from Vancouver to Garden Bay, BC. He drove his 1957 Grenfell "Heaven"....and I took his 24 ft 550hp "Hellfire"

1957 Grenfell "Heaven"

Hellfire...24ft Zeta hull...all other is custom built

We ended up in Garden Bay..returning to the scene of the crime...as I was born in the old hospital 54 years and one month previous to this visit.

We tied up at a private dock a little more than 100 yards from Bill Thompson's classic and rare biplane/floatplane.
