On November 30th, two aircraft, Fin #701 and #702, which were acquired new by Nordair in 1968/9, were also sold to Polaris. They were going to French airlines TAT and Air Inter.

Something different! An engine change in Prince Rupert.

On April 3rd, aircraft Fin# 746 required the no. 2 engine to be replaced as it had stalled out during a power check. The flight was under the command of Captain Ralph Howey with First Officer Dave Boyd. Here we have this photo of the crew involved with the change -
