Delivered to the Royal Canadian Air Force 7 July 1938. Struck-off RCAF strength 3 December 1945. Used as an instructional airframe marked as A198. Subsequently purchased by Ernie Oakman for his children to play with. He eventually donated it to the museum in 1990. After an extensive restoration it was put on display in 1997. In 2007 a restored and running Kinner B-5 125 HP five cylinder radial engine was installed. This type of engine was only applicable to the Fawn Mk.I. The Fawn Mk.II had the more powerful 140 HP Armstrong Siddeley Civet seven cylinder radial engine fitted.
