First registered in 1947 and locally based at this time. In 1965 it was purchased by a low time private pilot who then proceeded to ferry it to Montréal via the North Atlantic route. Through a miscalculation of range and endurance, the aircraft was wrecked when it ran out of fuel 65 miles short of Goose Bay (CYYR) on the flight from Narsarsuaq (BGBW).
