RCAF Expititor Mk 3TM 1534 delivered in March 1952. Sold to Hamilton Aircraft via Crown Assets Disposal Corp (N6686) in 1968, a cockpit door and cargo door were installed during civil conversion (later replaced by a cargo door with airstairs). The aircraft was acquired by freight operator Bard Air in 1972, re-registered N38CB in 1973. Flying with several other small cargo operators in the mid 90s, the aircraft was registered N21354 in 2001.

This very nice but strangely marked Beech 18 is ex French Air Force 447099, later 099. It arrived in the museum in 1986, presumably from Châteaudun where it had been stored since it was withdrawn from use in 1969. By 2008 it had been painted in these markings, which appear to be based on those carried by Beech D18S ZK-TEX "447506" c/n A-989 in 2004. It carries a small "Bug Smasher" nose art.
