This Buffalo was completed at Downsview in May 1978 and was one of four built for the Sudanese Air Force, serialled 811 and also used by Sudan Airways as ST-AHP. It has been restored as Canadian Armed Forces DHC-5 115461 which was flying under United Nations colours when it was shot down over Syria on 9th August 1974, killing all nine on board. Some parts of the prototype Buffalo were used in the rebuild of the museum's example, which was dedicated to the "Canada Nine" in 2009.

This ex-Sudanese Air Force aircraft (ex 811/ST-AHP) is being restored to represent 115461, a CAF machine shot down over Syria in 1974.

Overview of the outside exhibits belonging to the Canadian Warbird Heritage Museum. Note the two 727s hiding in the background, of which there were a total of at least eight dispersed around the field. It's a long time since I've seen so many 727s together in one place. The Buffalo was formerly ST-AHP of the Sudanese AF but has been restored in this UN scheme to commemorate the Canadian crew of the real '115461' who were killed when the plane was shot down over Syria on 9th Aug 1974.
