Taxiing out for Gillam's gravel runway, this Dakota started as a lend lease aircraft for the Royal Air Force. Built as 44-76481 and delivered as KN392, it was struck off strenght by the RAF in 1950 and transferred to the Royal Canadian Air Force. It was re-serialed 12917 in 1970 only to be sold and overhauled in 1971. Northward Aviation and Gander Aviation operated CF-BKX before Lambair added it to their fleet. (1976 - 1980).
