Wartime C-47 42-23951 was a well traveled aircraft. Flying post war in Australia, Africa, Ireland and Great Britain before coming to Canada in 1970 as CF-CQT for North Coast Air Services. Pictured still in North Coast's color scheme, the aircraft would later get the more colorful Air Manitoba color scheme. Last flying with Points North Air Services after 1984, the aircraft was stored and the registration cancelled in 1996. It's part of the Saskatchewan Aviation Museum collection at the time of uploading.

Pictured with Ilford Riverton Airways (later Air Manitoba), the aircraft was last flying for Points North Air Service 1994 - 98, it was donated to the Saskatchewan Aviation Museum in 2014.

Ex 42-23951, VH-AFA, VR-NCO, 5N-AAO. Bought from Nigerian Airways by Aer Turas, to whom it was registered 9 March 1964. Cancelled 15 January 1965 when it was sold in the UK as G-ATBE, later sold as CF-CQT in May 1970.

Here just arrived for adding to the Ilford-Riverton Airways fleet and it has lost the belly mounted survey equipment shown in Photo ID: 9630. Prior to import in 1970 it was owned by Handley Page Aircraft (G-ATBE) which is when it may have acquired the Hastings-style RAF Transport Command paint scheme. Later it went to Points North Air where it was withdrawn from service and cancelled June 2014.
