Seen at Prestwick, about to go transatlantic to St John, NB (together with N17682). Entered military service in 1961 as G306 of the Ghana Air Force at Takoradi, retiring in 1973. At the time of this photograph the Otter was owned by Air Craftsmen Ltd of St John, NB, which specialised in buying and refurbishing ex-military Otters, and then selling them on to commercial operators. N17683 became C-GNLA, initially with Newfoundland Labrador Air Transport, and was operated commercially on Canada's Atlantic seaboard mainly from Goose Bay, NL. Written off in October 1990 when it sank into Shapio Lake, NL, following a landing accident.
