Delivered to Shell Canada Ltd on April 14, 1958 as CF-KLC, this Otter flew with Trans-Provincial Airlines from 1970 through 1993. The aircraft moved to the Province of Quebec in 1995 and had a Vazar turbine conversion in 2003. Damaged in 2006 when another landing Otter ran into C-FKLC, tearing off the right wing. When being moved by helicopter, it was dropped from a substantial height and destroyed.

Arrived at the museum on 9 May 2005 and seen here shortly thereafter, following 37 years of storage at Deception Island, Antarctica. Unfortunately the plans to restore the aircraft, which was on loan from the British Antarctic Survey, never materialised and in January 2012 the aircraft was returned to BAS. It was removed from the museum and transported to a barn at Newhouse Farm, Leaden Roding, UK, reportedly for restoration by Glyn Craig. Very faded "British Antarctic Survey" titles were still visible on the rear fuselage. In the background is the forward fuselage of Comet R.2 XK695 (c/n 06030).

VH-TLS was damaged in a storm at Brisbane International airport on December 24, 1989. It was shipped back to Canada for repairs and became C-FIPC.

Operated by Aerokon Aviation, who bought her from the Ontario Provincial Air Service.

Originally delivered to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police July 28, 1959, this Otter was with Central Mountain Air and in Vancouver for maintenance when photographed. Still carrying previous operators Loon Air logo on the tail and a Wardair color scheme; it was used by Wardair President Max Ward for his personal travels in Northern Canada. The aircraft later received a Vazar turbine conversion and is still current on the Canadian register at the time of uploading.

The neat and clean appearance of this Otter, and of their Beaver, was impressive.

Delivered new to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Air Division October 1, 1954, Burrard Air bought this Otter January 1982. Sold and exported to the USA in May 1987, it flew in Alaska as N234KA before Kenmore Air bought it in February 1992. They added a Vazar turbine conversion and flew the Otter November 2002 when it came back to Canada with Harbour Air as C-GHAR.

Originally number four in an order of twelve DHC-3 Otters for the Ghana Air Force (G303), delivered May 8, 1961. Withdrawn in 1973, this Otter made it's way from Africa to Mexico to fly in the mountains and have a crash in the Canadian Northwest Territories. Rebuilt and photographed here on it's way to Alaska where it has flown ever since. It received a Texas Turbine conversion in 2006 and is current as N337AK at the time of uploading.

Wilderness Air bought this 1961 Otter from the Province of Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources in 1986. It has been with them ever since.

Not even half way through it's career here, "Bert" was delivered to the RCAF March 28, 1953. The air force put it into storage in September 1957. Sold in 1965 to De Havilland Canada, who refurbished and sold it as CF-SUB to Coast Range Airways of Atlin BC. The rugged bush plane would operate the next 21 years in British Columbia and the Yukon before working one summer in Ontario in 1987 and then moving to Cargair Ltee in Quebec. Sold in 2007 to Air Mont-Laurier in 2007, it was cancelled from the register in early 2017.
