Can anybody help me to identify this wreck I saw at Digby airport in summer 2012?

Hello Tomas

Identifying an aeroplane from a section with no markings can be very difficult but I enjoy a challenge. It looks like a Cherokee 140. There is not much to go on other than the letters SLEMO on the side. I googled this and somehow got to the Slemon Park Flying Club. They were in Newfoundland. Not a lot of information about them so I went on the Canadian Aircraft Register historical section which has a facility to trace aircraft by owner. Stuck Slemon Park Flying Club in and out came a list of aircraft that had been registered to them. There are only two Cherokee 140s, C-GDVT and C-FXQM. DVT is I believe stiill current but C-FXQM (cn 28 24787)was cancelled 2/12/1987. This is possibly the aeroplane in the picture. Perhaps someone else could confirm or otherwise.

Hi Bob,

thank you so mich for your help! I had written to people at Digby airport before but didn't get any reply. So this was my last chance and to be honest, I didn't expect too much. A good example for EU cooperation. You solved the Canadian problem in the UK and I am going to use this information in Germany when uploading the picture soon.

Summerside, Prince Edward Island is not that far from Digby, Nova Scotia. ICAO Code: CYID. Are you getting confused with the former RAF Digby in Lincolnshire?
