Fairchild Husky CF-EIL was rebuilt by Saunders Aircraft at Gimli, Manitoba in the mid-1970s with a 550 HP Alvis Leonides 503/8 engine and an 11 foot de Haviland three bladed propeller for Harrison Airways of Vancouver. It was delivered at Vancouver Airport (by air or road?) in the spring of 1975 and "EIL" was visible on the tail. It was painted all-white with the registration C-GCYV applied soon after this photo was taken. The aircraft never entered service and was later acquired by the Western Canada Aviation Museum in Winnipeg after Harrison Airways went bankrupt.

Trans-Provincial Airlines was acquired by the Pattison Group in the early 1980s when Air BC was formed but operated as a separate division primarily serving the north coast of British Columbia. The main base of operations was the former wartime RCAF seaplane base at Seal Cove in Prince Rupert. Goose CF-EFN operated on the BC coast from the early 1970s until Feb 28, 1991 when it was damaged when it ground looped on landing at Sandspit Airport (CYZP). The wreck was acquired by the Tongass Historical Society in Ketchikan (AK) in 1992 as N88821, and was still under restoration for static display with them by 2022.
