Photo Comment

Built as 43-49744, to RCAF as KN201 in January 1945 and re-serialled 12903 in June 1970. Registered N46938 in May 1977, initially with Basler Flight Service and later Alpha Airlines. Returned to Basler in 1983 and was one of two sold by them to Malawi in September 1990. Both were withdrawn at Zomba Air Base by 2004 and 76-21 has since been placed on display.
