This Goose was manufactured by Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation in 1944, as part of a U.S. Navy contract. It was acquired by the RCAF that same year and used for light transport duties. The RCMP and the British Columbia government donated it to the Museum in recognition of its long service record.
