First registered February 2007

The aircraft was flipped over in windstorm whilst it was moored at Rose Bay on 12-08-2019. The dismantled airframe was exported to Canada and was last noted stored at Campbell River, BC., in January 2020, however, the registration C-GSBN was allocated to it on 30 November 2023 so presumably restoration is underway. The registration VH-AAM is now carried by a Tecnam P-2008. (With thanks to DHC-2. com).

Registered in May 2008.
