In 1933 a Mr. G.S.Brown from Brandon Manitoba used the motor and vertical tail surface from a wrecked Vellie Monocoupe to build an Air Camper. The aircraft was registered as CF-AUK and flew but was partially destroyed in an accident in the first few hours. It was bought by H.W. Thompson who built a new fuselage and installed a Model A Ford engine. After a landing accident a new wing was built and completed in 1937, but due to the War the aircraft was put aside and the registration lapsed. In about 1967 the aircraft was resurrected with a Continental 65 engine and registered CF-RAZ. Still registered in 2023.
