Dakota built as 43-48351 for the RAF to be KJ828, it was diverted to the RCAF instead as KG828 (later 12948). Withdrawn in 1971, the aircraft was bought by Aero Trades Western / Soundair in 1976 and registered C-GCXD. Damaged in a take-off accident with Aviation Boreal on March 23 1995, the aircraft was stored Val D-Or, QC then moved to Red Deer, AB. Sold to Basler Turbo registered as N856LT in Sep 2018, it delivered by truck still painted C-GCXD.
