This was originally a standard HW-75, but in May 2012 it was brought into the Owner-Maintenance Category, which means that it has to be reregistered with an "X" added to both the aircraft type and the c/n.

Transport Canada shows c/n as DE465 which is its RAF allocation. It was civil registered in 1954 as G-ANOS and exported to Canada in 1972. The real 4188 was a D.H.82C c/n DHC-518. It entered service in 1940 and suffered Cat.B damage in February 1942. Subsequently struck off charge and scrapped in September 1943.

Entered service on 22 September 1944 and was assigned to the Reserve Equipment Maintenance Unit at Picton/ON in 1946. It then became 'free issue' to the Royal Canadian Flying Club Association, for use by Saskatoon Flying Club, but was never civil registered. It then emerged from storage somewhere in 1988 to become a museum exhibit as above.
