Canadian AF 17514 was transferred to the Aeronautical Establishment as CF-SVP-X in 1965. Fitted with tailboom for magnetic survey gear, for mapping of the earth's magnetic field, and to develop submarine detection gear. Last operational flight as such on 8 May 1975. Offered for sale in November 1978, and sold to Aircraft Salvage of Dallas Inc. in February 1979. Became N8022L in August 1979 (registration in very small print on the tail in this photo).

After service with the RCAF, the National Research Council took this aircraft in 1965 as CF-SVP-X and fitted it with extensive magnetic anomaly equipment for experimental work, flying her for ten years. Sold in 11.78, by this time the world's last flying example of the type. Owned by Aircraft Salvage of Dallas, and allegedly used for smuggling in the Caribbean until 1980. Then scrapped in the early part of the decade at Greater Inagua Island, Bahamas.
