Delivered to Trans-Canada Airlines March 8, 1958, Air Canada retired this Viscount in April 1973 to Winnipeg, MB for storage. It became one of the two dozen Viscounts sold to Beaver Enterprises a year later. Sold to Zaire Aero Service in September 1978, the airliner ferried to East Midlands for service by Field Aircraft Services before delivery as 9Q-CPD. It was involved in a non-fatal accident when it crashed into a swamp on take-off at Kinshasa on August 28, 1984 and written off.
