Conair's latest baby is this 2010 built Dash-8-Q400 air tanker that they got from Angola last year. With Flybe, a major operator of the type, going bust there should be plenty more air-frames going cheap if this one works out. What I find interesting is that it is not (yet) designated as the Q400MR which are what the Sécurité Civile have theirs designated as. Canadian Civil Aircraft Register still list this as the DHC-8-402.
