Default Canadian Vickers Vista

I'm looking for some resources concerning this vintage flying boat. All I've managed so far is a couple of pictures on the net with no three view pics. only one was built in 1927.It looks fairly straight forward to build if you had a start with 3 views and some specs on her. I first saw a picture at our indoor flying location, the aviation museum hanger in Edmonton Alberta Canada and it caught my eye. i started checking on it only to hit a lot of dead ends.

appreciate the help

thanks

Try CAHS (Canadian Avaition Historical Soceity).. I've drawn my own plans for my Husky, Bellanca, and Fairchild FC-2 from 3-views that they had in thier journals.. You can e-mail them and they may have a back issue with what your looking for...

I have a rough 3 view. It is in a book called, Jericho Beach and the West Coast Flying Boat Stations. So I'll see if this works.
