Photo Comment

Ex C-FQPD, CF-QPD, RCAF 5193 and (?) 1564 (CT-128, rebuilt by Beechcraft with a new c/n and delivered in 1952, the original Beechcraft c/n being A-764). No information seems to be available regarding the history of the original airframe, said to have been built during WW2. It was originally registered in the UK as a Beechcraft 3NM, and later as a 3TM. Registration cancelled on 21 September 2021 as destroyed, after being damaged beyond repair in a forced landing on 14 September 2021 following engine failure while on approach to Bastia-Poretta Airport, Corsica.
