This former Department of Lands and Forests Turbo Beaver in Ontario was one of three of the type acquired by AirWest in 1978.The aircraft would be re-painted in AirWest's new colors only to suffer an unfortunate accident. After a forced landing, it was recovered by helicopter but dropped from altitude during the move. The remains were sold in 1984 and rebuilt in the USA as N4603U only to disappear.
