Photo Comment

Delivered to Northwest Territorial Airways in 1965, but crashlanded at Somerset Island, NWT, Canada on 13 May 1971. Damaged beyond repair and stored. The museum acquired it in 1993, but not much is known about its whereabouts between 1971 and 1993. By 1979 it was reportedly under repair with Buffalo Airways at Red Deer, where it may have ended up in storage. Note the small "Northwest Territorial Airways Ltd. - Yellowknife N.W.T." titles near the cargo door. Seen here while still on outdoor display, this aircraft had been moved indoors by 2008.
