This Beaver has been seen in Vancouver for many years as N90546 but now it is on the Canadian registry and it has been given a cabin extension and the engine has been moved forward to compensate for that. Sadly, this Beaver crashed and sunk in the ocean near Sechelt, British Columbia on 30 July 2019. Engine trouble was believed to be the problem. All on board were quickly rescued by a nearby tug boat just before the Beaver sunk.
