Often incorrectly quoted as c/n CV-523 ex 44-34012, but that aircraft was w/o in the Philppines on 5 Jun 1945 when damaged on a rescue mission and abandoned. HK-2115P was officially registered in Jun 1978 as serial number "34012" (its former US Navy ID), which makes it c/n 1566. This was registered as CF-IEE in Jul 1955 and damaged in an accident in 1970. The fuselage was apparently transported to Colombia and used in the rebuild of HK-2115P. It was inspected in 2008 and found to have an Aero Corporation plate with serial 34012. In 2017 it was bought by a German and temporarily stored in Molbergen, Germany since Jan 2018. In 2019 it was transported to Meidl, Fertoszentmiklós, Hungary to be restored by Rare Bird Aviation.
