A bit of mystery is this ex-RAF Dakota acquired by the RCAF after WW-II. It was based in Europe 1955-70 then retired to the No. 1005 Technical Storage Detachment at Saskatoon in 1971. Registered as CF-BKR in January 1972, but by December it was off the CCAR with no foreign registration or accident data found. Hard to believe this cream-puff didn't have a post-military career, but it seems to have been scrapped at Saskatoon.
