After retirement, this deHavilland built Tracker which was later converted to Firecat was donated to the Canadian Museum of Flight in 2012. Its paint is fading quite noticeably but more disturbing is the vandalism it has suffered. The windshield is smashed and other damage can be seen. It has recently been moved to a safer location. Eventually, it and the collection will be re-located to a museum in Pitt Meadows, BC but that will not be soon.
