The RCMP Air Division operated this Beaver 1962 - 1984. The RCMP put their De Havilland Canada Beavers, Otters and Twin Otters to good use, but by the mid-80s when new aircraft were required, the production lines for those aircraft were closed down. The Beavers and Otters were gradually replaced by Cessna 208 Caravans. One Twin Otter remains today with others replaced by Pilatus PC-12s.
