The first Viscount for Canada's Department of Transport was delivered in March 1955. Leased to Trans-Canada Airlines for the summer, it was used fro crew training to keep up with TCA's own delivery schedule of Viscounts. After return in October, the aircraft was used by the Department of Transport (later called Transport Canada) until 1982. Grounded by a crack in a wing spar cap, it was sold for parts.After usefull parts were removed the hulk was donated to Ottawa's airport manager and used for airport fire training. It was later broken up.
