This Twin Pioneer Series 3 first flew at Prestwick on June 26, 1963 and sold to the Royal Malaysian Air Force. One of four sold to Aerial Agriculture and ferried to Australia in Nov-Dec 1972. Sold to the USA in June 1975 but impounded at ANC in Aug 1975 (See https://www.goodall.com.au/australian-aviation/twin-pioneer/twinpioneer.html for complete history). Bought by Jack Anderson of North Coast Air Service and flown to Smithers, BC c.1980, but C-GNIS couldn't be certified. Later ferried to Woodcock (CBQ8), 38 nm N of Terrace, on last flight.
