World War II era Goose that was delivered to the Royal Canadian Air Force (as 926) in July 1940. Converted to turbine by Marshall of Cambridge using a McKinnon STC turbine kit while registered G-ASXG. Registered to Air West in April 1974, the airline cited the high cost of PT-6 engine overhaul when it converted the aircraft back to piston power in 1985 (but kept the other Mikkinon modifications). Leased to Pacific Coastal Airlines, the amphibian crashed on take-off at Rivers Inlet, BC on May 12, 1988.
