Built as 44-76513 and delivered to the RAF in March 1945 as KN419. Sold to East African Airways as VP-KJR in February 1952 and re-registered as 5X-AAQ in August 1964. Sold to Kenya in 1977 as 5Y-BBN with Caspair, which in 1984 was re-branded as Sunbird Aviation. Air Kenya operated the aircraft from 1987 until it crashed, landing at Musiara airstrip in the Masai Mara in February 1992. Deemed uneconomical to repair the aircraft was later dismantled and used for spares.

Having served in East Africa since it was delivered to East African Airways in 1952, this Dakota later served with Caspair, Sunbird and Airkenya. It was written off in an accident at Maasai Mara National Reserve in February 1992 and broken up there during 1993. Photographer unknown
