During the early 1950s, the RNoAF used a three letter code system for its aircraft. This remained on some aircraft such as the Otters. The type code was O and the individual aircraft identification in this case was AF, making the full serial O-AF. Delivered as part of the first batch of Otters in April 1954, O-AF was assembled at the RNoAF's main depot at Kjeller AFB. Along with O-AG, it was part of Operasjon Pingvin in 1958 operating on the Antarctic ice shelf. Sold as LN-IKI in 1967 remaining in Norway until 1983. Later N4683K, C-FWAF, and N63354.

The Otter came to Vernon on wheels and with its original piston engine in October, and in April it left for Alaska converted to turbine and with a set of amphibious floats. The pilot gave me a wing wag as he departed.

Its transformation to turbine complete, this beautiful Otter is ready to go back to Juneau Alaska

Next in line for the Texas Turbine conversion. What a beautiful paint scheme.
