This Beaver was rebuilt at Sealand at Campbell River and fitted with the Trace V8 Orenda engine of 600HP and a four blade composite reversing prop. Following certification in the US it then went to Val D'or Quebec for float certification. Possibly due to lack of interest in this conversion the program was dropped. The aircraft was de-registered and sold to a Canadian buyer. The engine was removed and it was transported back to Campbell River in a trailer. It remains un-registered. It will some day emerge as a Turbo Beaver, or perhaps will revert to its original R985 engine, but time will tell.
