Built in December 1942 and ex 42-14847 with the USAAC. Out of 3.590 frames built, this is #50. According to an online source it is likely the oldest airworthy L-5. The aircraft was accepted by the USAAC in February 1943 and remained with them until it was stored at Muskogee, Oklahoma in April 1945. Between September 1945 - 1950 the aircraft remained with the RFC for possible civil conversion. The aircraft probably became a civilian in 1965, when the Winnipeg Glider Club operated it as CF-STC. Cancelled in June 1986 and to the US in September 1989 as N255DB. Shipped to The Netherlands in the first half of 2021.
