Overseas Aviation ceased operations in August 1961 and most of their fleet of former Trans Canada Airlines Canadair DC4M and C-4 North Stars ended up in storage at Coventry. CF-TFT was one of the first to be ferried from Gatwick on 21st October 1961. Having failed to attract a buyer, the aircraft was broken up in 1965.
