Purchased by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1949 for Antarctic operations. Shipped to Falklands in 1950 and thence operated by Falkland Islands Government Air Service until 1953. Airframe was used for naval target practice. The engine lay on the beach not far from the Beaver hangar. Now moved to the museum, I believe. The floats were sold to Saunders Island on West Falklands and used to make a barge. This photo is copyright © Ian White, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
