This long time west coast resident was delivered to British Columbia Pulp and Paper in September 1948. Later it flew with Gibson Bros. Contractors, Queen Charlotte Airlines and the Province of British Columbia (Department of Lands and Forests and Department of Transport & Communications). Pictured with J B Reid Logging from January 1984, the aircraft was sold to Castle Rock Exploration in June 1996. Unfortunately on September 30, 1996, the aircraft crashed working in Labrador while enroute to Goose Bay. The wreckage was eventually salvaged and has been stored by Viking Air since about 2003.
