Originally bu 48423 with the US Navy during World War II, this Catalina was registered N4002A when sold surplus. Registered CF-JJG with Survair circa 1965, the aircraft worked twenty years mostly surveying for metal deposits. Later with Canadian Aero Service and Spartan Aero Services it was acquired by Kenting in 1976. To the USA as N423RS in 1986, it flew as an RAF warbird (and a time with Greenpeace in the late 90s). Owned by the Tunison Foundation since 2017, the aircraft is undergoing a restoration at the time of uploading as funds permit.
