Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge again relied on a Twin Otter to get them to their destination yesterday. In 2011 they had flown from Yellowknife in an Air Tindi example.
Yesterday the couple were transported harbour-to-harbour from Victoria to Vancouver aboard Harbour Air's C-GQKN. This aircraft is an Ikhana 200HG™ model, which was originally delivered to Surinam in 1968 and arrived in Canada in 1979.
