Built in Canada in 1947, this Fox Moth was owned by a number of operators before Maxwell Ward (founder of Wardair Inc., a private Canadian airline company) purchased it in the 1980s. Ward had the aircraft repainted to match the markings of his first Fox Moth that he had bought in 1946 and used for his first company, Polaris Charter Company. The original CF-DJB was destroyed in a crash after a few years of use.
