Put out to grass for a time in the storage corner at Selkirk Airport. Rebuilt in 2004 and repainted as CF-LZO in a dark colour scheme, based at Strathmore, Alberta. A flyby in wheeled configuration was carried out at the 2009 Red Lake Norseman Festival. Unfortunately, its flight had to be terminated at Red Lake Airport, Ontario. Effectively entered open storage there, where it still sat, for sale, as late as 2021.

Seen at the Red Lake town docks while participating in the 1995 Red Lake Diamond Jubilee Norseman Festival. Rebuilt in 2004 and repainted in dark colours. Subsequently converted to a wheeled land-based version. Later did a flyby at a Norseman Festival. Was attempting a flight across the country from its base at Strathmore, Alberta. Unfortunately this effort was terminated at Red Lake Airport, where it was parked. Effectively entered open storage there, where it still sits, now for sale, as recently as late 2021.

Ex 44-70509. I also find the background increasingly interesting every time I look. Front row: Fokker Spin III (replica, c/n 5365) and Fokker F-27 fuselage (PH-NIV, c/n 10101). Background: Aeriane Sirocco (PH-2B7, c/n 90-061), HM-14 (G-AEOF, c/n WM.1), Auster J/1 (PH-NFH, c/n 1845, silver fuselage & yellow stripping, with prop), Sagitta 013 (PH-308, c/n 006, white & blue leading edge wings), Schleicher K.8B (PH-393, c/n 8768, red wings & tail), Schleicher Ka-4 Rhonlerche II (PH-375, c/n 3078, white & blue fuselage), Grunau Baby IIb (PH-170, c/n 6052, yellow fuselage). PH-NDC (Fokker S-12) is possibly back there is well, hidden from sight. I think I also see Stearman Hammond Y-1S tails. The yellow metal could be Fairey Firefly TT.I SE-CAU.

The burnt-out airframe of VH-BHF, the result of radio fault on September 17, 1952. Photo is believed to be in the 1950s. In a 1960s photo of the aircraft the wings have been removed as has the aluminum sheet on the undercarriage legs. It was reported as still at Mainoru in the 1980s.

Donated to the museum about 1995.

On wheels and with modified livery.

Under restoration at the Aviodrome. Ex USAAF 44-70509.

The panel in this 60 year old has been modernized.

Center piece in the Pioneer museum in Fairbanks Alaska. This Norseman flew for Alaska Airlines from 1956 to 1961, and has been with the museum since 1992.

Reregistered VH-GSB in 1959

Had metal fuselage skins installed prior to import in 1967 and here waiting out the winter before joining Wings Aviation at Red Lake/ON. In 1993 it became a private aircraft based at Ponoka/AB then exported as N164UC in 2016, but fallen into registration limbo by 2020.

Delivered to the USAAF as 43-5333, sold as NC51491 in 1945 then to Central Northern Airways at Winnipeg as CF-ENB in 1953. Here it has just been sold by Ilford-Riverton Airways to Gayle Air, possibly as a replacement for CF-BFU which was destroyed in a crash about this time. Still on the register in 2020.

Operated by 5 Communications Unit out of Townsville, Queensland, during the war. Sent to Tocumwal, NSW, for disposal.. Seen at Sydney airport in July 1949 still in its wartime markings and codes awaiting civil conversion . Became VH-BNL with Gibbes Sepik Airways in Papua New Guinea.
