Equipment

The series consists of general and technical photographic material of aircraft and equipment, as well as correspondence, booklets and Okanagan-produced “Fact Sheets” on specific helicopter models. The series is arranged alphabetically by aircraft company, and includes material originating with the Engineering Support Division. The photographs were taken by Okanagan and its partners, and the majority of these images are presumed to have been taken in BC.
The series includes material on Bell, Hiller, AStar aircraft and the Hughes 500. For the majority of material pertaining to the Sikorsky Aircraft company, please see MS-3193. Sikorsky material is only present in this series if it has been included in files with other material.

The series also consists of two 16 mm film reels. One, produced by Bell Helicopters, features the 214ST, and may have been used as a marketing or training film.

The series also consists of photographs of crop spraying systems, the HUSS bucket, Sky Genie lift system, and the Monzoon and Bambi Buckets.

There appears to have been an attempt by the creator to arrange files based on aircraft company, although this was not always consistent. The arranging archivist has attempted to mirror this system.

A list of films removed from the series is available.
