The Museum restored this Vertol 44 as No 9592 serving with No. 103 Rescue Unit at Greenwood in the 1960s. Built in March 1960, it later flew at RCAF Chatham until retired in November 1971. Sold to Nahanni Helicopters in 1973 as CF-BSG, it was later abandoned in Fort Simpson, NWT and salvaged by Garth Walker of Comox, BC c.1980 who planned to use it for logging. The museum obtained the rear cabin of 9592 from collector Byron Reynolds in Alberta and later acquired US Army H-21 53-4365 for its front cabin and other parts since a snowplow accidentally crushed the front cabin of 9592 in BC.
