Peter Muehlegg of Skywagon City acquired this Percival P.57 Sea Prince T.Mk.1, C-GJIE, from the Toronto Aerospace Museum and moved it by road to his grass airstrip on Concession Road 7 in Brechin, ON by 2007. His main business was selling Cessna parts but he also had a number of airframes (2 x HS748 fuselages, 2 x Sikorsky HH-3 cabins) he rented to motion picture companies. Muehlegg died on March 7, 2015. Some of Muehlegg aircraft parts were acquired by Doug Ronan who owns a grass airfield immediately to the east. Status of the Sea Prince unknown in Dec 2021.

Percival P.57 Sea Prince T.Mk.1 C-GJIE was imported to by Atlantis Transportation Services in 1987 and based at (YOO) Oshawa Airport and later repainted in Royal Navy c/s. It was donated to the Toronto Aerospace Museum in the early 2000s and flown to Downsview Airport for display. The museum had limited space so the aircraft was sold to a party in St. Catharines, ON. but the deal never closed. Peter Muehlegg of Skywagon City acquired the aircraft and it was trucked to his airstrip on Concession Road 7 in Brechin, ON by 2007. Muehlegg died on March 7, 2015.
