Greetings, my reading friend, and, once again, profuse apologies for improperly evaluating the amount of material uncovered while researching the aeronautical history of Hoffar Motor Boat Company of Vancouver, British Columbia. You will remember that we ended the 3rd part of this article as the staff of that firm prepared the test flight of a seaplane. Let us pick up our story at that point in the spacetime continuum.

Something about the beginning of a new phase in the aeronautical history of Hoffar Motor Boat Company of Vancouver, British Columbia. Well, the hyper long digression also known as Part 2 of this article is finally behind us, which means that we finally have the means, motive and opportunity to jump into the fray. Are you ready?

Greetings and salutations, my reading friend. You will of course remember how the first part of this article ended. Something about the beginning of a new phase in the aeronautical history of Hoffar Motor Boat Company of Vancouver, British Columbia. Are you ready? Let us begin.

Cox, Assistant Forester of the United States Forest Service, an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture, allegedly wondered if aeroplanes could be of use in forest

Hello there, my reading friend.

Let us begin with a quote, which consists of the brief text which accompanied the photograph above.

Welcome back, my reading friend, and profuse apologies. Yours truly remembers only too well my December 2022 statement according to which I hereby and heretofore endeavoured to valiantly attempt to be briefer in my perorations. I had, however, prefaced that statement by stating that resolutions for the new year could be (tend to be?) fleeting. Well, now you have proof. Hence the apologies. Now, where were we? Ah yes.
