Harbour Air Installs Electric Engine Into ‘Prototype’ Seaplane
The title of this post is the same as that of this article on Pique Magazine.
It is as must-read as it gives the thoughts of engineers working on Harbour Air‘s project to create an electric seaplabe, by the conversion of a DHC-2 Beaver.
Will I see an electric aircraft in my lifetime?
If ten years ago, someone had asked me, if battery-powered trains would appear in my lifetime, I would have been sceptical.
But in the last four years, I have ridden in at least two battery powered trains and lived to tell the tale!
So I not only feel that I will see a news film of a small electric airliner carrying around a dozen passengers, but I suspect I’ll be able to fly in one in the UK.
Surely, the ultimate destination for an electric aircraft would be Barra Airport, where airliners land on a sandy tidal beach.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
