Delivered to Trans Canada Airlines May 1957, CF-THI stored at Winnipeg, MB in February 1969. In preparation for donation to the National Aeronautical Collection (now renamed Canada Aviation and Space Museum), the Viscount was flown to Montreal via Toronto. Restored to two class 40 seat configuration and repainted in TCA colors by Air Canada, it was flown for the last time to Rockliffe on November 16, 1969. Stored outside until 2006, restoration was not possible in the new storage area, so conservation was carried out to clean up the weathered aircraft to await restoration.
