The following photo was posted in Vintage Muskoka by Duncan O’Brien.
The caption reads: “From my dadʻs Muskoka photo album, an exciting day at Belmont House on Lake Joseph. It seems like float plane design hasnʻt changed too much since 1929. “
A reader offered the following information: “I’d suggest it’s a Fairchild 71…….According to the WIKI gods…..The FC-2W, later known as the Model 71, was built in the United States between 1928 and 1930. In 1929 Fairchild formed a company in Canada (Fairchild Aircraft Limited) at Longueuil, Quebec in 1929 to support the Canadian operators of Fairchild aircraft. The Canadian company also set up a factory production line for the Model 71, developing a variant for the Canadian military.”
