Delivered as an AS350C, Maple Leaf was not happy with the reliability of the original Lycoming engine and converted this Astar to AS350B standard with a Turbomeca Arriel engine. The helicopter left Canada February 1989 to eventually become N101FW. It returned to Canada June 2007 as C-FODI with Expedition Helicopters, who further upgraded it to AS350BA standard.

Delivered to Philippine Airlines as PI-C1018 and later RP-C1018, JVN was bought by Bradley in 1980. Bradley was re-branded as First Air and used the aircraft until withdrawn in 2008 and used for parts.

C-53 in World War II (41-20133), demobbed in May 1945 and was with TWA before the end of the month (NC44783). John Conroy acquired the Three in January 1968 (N4700C) and it was flying as the Conroy Turbo-Three with two Rolls Royce Dart turboprops in 1969. Fitted with three PT-6A-45 and re-registered N23SA, it became the Tri-Turbo-Three in 1977. Here transiting through Winnipeg, a fire in the cockpit while the aircraft was being worked on at Santa Barbara, CA ended its flying days.

VH-EBL was delivered to Qantas in June 1976. Its name was changed to City of Perth in 1985 and City of Ballarat in 1986 before being sold in 1989. It became N160UA with United Airlines.

Operated by Ansett from October 1981 until November 1986. It was sold in the US as N182AW.

VH-CJQ was registered in April 1982 and remained current in August 2017.

Taken from a Super King Air on finals to runway 28. Rwy 10/28 has been extended since this picture to accommodate Dash 8s. The airport was built by the Australian Army in 1974. Until then the island depended on two Shorts flying boats (VH-BRC and BRF) that operated to Sydney off the lagoon at the far end of Runway 28. Tides and weather made the service unreliable, as did the age of the aircraft.

Sold back to Pilatus in 1993. Became N111FX

Preserved since 1.68 when she joined the Skyfame museum at Staverton after service including Kenya and Suez with 24 Sqn (marking in this shot) and 36 Sqn, this Hastings has since been a well-known exhibit at Duxford. Now housed inside and recently restored in an early all-silver scheme

Leased by GPA to Hold Trade Air as 5N-ATC in 9.91 but stored at Southend from 1993 and broken up there in 8.01
