This Kiowa was allocated the US serial 71-20891 but was delivered in 1972 to the Canadian Armed Forces as a CH-136 with the serial 136226. In May 1989 it crashed in Germany following a wire-strike. The remains appear to have been remanufactured with the new c/n AMT004 (though not on the registration paperwork) and civil registered as N6351C in March 2004. It was re-registered in Australia as VH-JWV(3) on 16 February 2006, then to VH-TES(3) on 10 November that year.
