Allocated registration CF-YYU in 1964, it does not seem to have appeared on the Canadian Civil Registry until 1971 with Victoria Flying Services. C-FYYU by the time West Coast Air bought it circa 1979 - 80, it merged into the Air BC fleet in 1981. On July 30, 1981 enroute to Ocean Falls, BC, the aircraft crashed in the bush eight miles short of destination. It had run out of fuel and stalled trying to stretch a glide to a small inlet.
