VH-SBT was sold in Canada as CF-XRI in 1968. TAA publicity photo after it took over Papua New Guinea internal air services and the Otter fleet from Qantas.

Delivered to Shell Canada Ltd on April 14, 1958 as CF-KLC, this Otter flew with Trans-Provincial Airlines from 1970 through 1993. The aircraft moved to the Province of Quebec in 1995 and had a Vazar turbine conversion in 2003. Damaged in 2006 when another landing Otter ran into C-FKLC, tearing off the right wing. When being moved by helicopter, it was dropped from a substantial height and destroyed.

Arrived at the museum on 9 May 2005 and seen here shortly thereafter, following 37 years of storage at Deception Island, Antarctica. Unfortunately the plans to restore the aircraft, which was on loan from the British Antarctic Survey, never materialised and in January 2012 the aircraft was returned to BAS. It was removed from the museum and transported to a barn at Newhouse Farm, Leaden Roding, UK, reportedly for restoration by Glyn Craig. Very faded "British Antarctic Survey" titles were still visible on the rear fuselage. In the background is the forward fuselage of Comet R.2 XK695 (c/n 06030).

VH-TLS was damaged in a storm at Brisbane International airport on December 24, 1989. It was shipped back to Canada for repairs and became C-FIPC.

Operated by Aerokon Aviation, who bought her from the Ontario Provincial Air Service.

Originally delivered to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police July 28, 1959, this Otter was with Central Mountain Air and in Vancouver for maintenance when photographed. Still carrying previous operators Loon Air logo on the tail and a Wardair color scheme; it was used by Wardair President Max Ward for his personal travels in Northern Canada. The aircraft later received a Vazar turbine conversion and is still current on the Canadian register at the time of uploading.

The neat and clean appearance of this Otter, and of their Beaver, was impressive.
