Delivered as L-20A 51-16811 to the US Army on July 14, 1962, this Beaver was in South East Asia during the Vietnam War when it was transferred to the Royal Thai Army circa 1970. Pictured outside Pacific Aircraft Salvage (a prolific Beaver re-builder) still wearing it's Thai Army serial and roundel, there is no further history on this airframe.

Operated by the UK based Bentwood Flying Club as N9824F from December 1960 to August 1962, when it reverted to military marks for the California ANG. In 1979 it became C-GJEA and noted as such at Vernon (CYVK) in 1992 with airframe damage. Last known action was certificate of registration cancelled on 26 October 1995. The aircraft was never removed from the register and the marks GJEA are not available which equates to registration limbo.

It looks as though the two lads are doing a pre-flight inspection of the elevator. Aircraft sent for reclamation on 27 May 1965 for unknown reasons.
