The RCAF brought this Expeditor on strength in 1952 as 2307. In 1964 it was modified to an Expeditor 3NMT. Sold in 1974, it became CF-CKT flying for International Forest Fire Systems in Alberta with a modified cabin door for smoke jumpers. The aircraft is pictured with Eastern Pacific Aviation after retired in March 1980 (with the previous owner's logo still on the tail). Acquired by the Canadian Museum of Flight & Transportation, it was moved by helicopter to the museum's original Surrey location. Moved by truck the museum's new location in 1995, it displayed in a bare metal finish. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
