CL44r Even so the RCAF may end up with 10 Clr44s The air force has 12 military versions of the CL 44 with standard sideloading which it calls the Yukon And it has four American Lockheed Hercules 0130135 with rear ramp load ing The Yukon was acquired to operate between well equipped airfields and it is used mainly between Trenton Ont and llfarvillc France to supply the RCAF Air Division in Europe The Herculcs is considered far more versatile transport be cause it can put down almost anywhere Equipped with skis it can land on snow and ice WOULD LIKE MORE The RCAF thErelore would prefer to obtain more Hercules instead of Canadairs 0144 in formed sources said Thursday The commercial version of the CL44 has hinged tail which swings aside to permit rear loading Fairly complicated ground loading equipment is re quired however There have been reports that the government is urging lCA to acquire the swingtail Clr44 instead of the American Doug las DCRF which TCA prefers Canadair has sold I7 CLtls to three 1Tfl0ricallc cargo nip lines10 to the Flying Tiger line five to Seaboard and West ern and two to Slick Airways These sales were financed by government lt guaranteed loans by Canadair Now Canadair is reported to be seeking more capital and these loans may be taken over by one or more of the chartered banks MUST SELL 30 Canadair has figured that it must sell 30 CL44s to break even on the project To keep the CL44 production line open the defence produc tion department without con sulting the ftCAF put up some $21000000 for five planes for the RCAF on the understanding that if Canadair could sell them elsewhere that would be dandy Canadair also put up enough capital for five If these 10 planes cant be sold elsewhere the RCAF will get them Canadairs main point ex pressed privately has been that if the publicly owned TCA or RCAF wont buy the CL44 its chances of selling it to other countries are much lower Ruling Reserved 0n Hotel Row Decision By Magistrates
