This Chief was originally NC4021E (later N4021E). It came to Australia in 1987, being re-registered VH-HRH on 16 December 1987. Subsequently transferred to the RAAus Register as 24-8804 on 20 October 2016. It sustained damage after a hard landing in 2018, but was subsequently restored to flying condition and first flew in June 2022. It has fairly recently been repainted in this striking orange colour scheme.

There are two locations at St-Mathias a regular airport and a water aerodrome

Sitting it out on a crisp prairie winter day. Not much moves on days like this as the arctic temperatures are too hard on man and machine. Built in 1947 and C of R cancelled in 2006 for unknown reason. The final owner was a mechanic who died in 2014 so it is probably sitting in barn somewhere waiting to be found.

VH-HRH was transferred to the Recreational Aircraft register as 24-8804 in September 2016.
