Kelowna Flightcraft obtained five former RCAF Cosmopolitans but an unsure market and challenges with certification resulted in all being scrapped except one which is 109152. It will be preserved and kept in Kelowna. 109157 was acquired in Panama City as HP-1445 and flown to Kelowna under temporary reg C-GPQY. The Canadair built Cosmos can be identified by the HF antenna hump on the top fuselage.

A newspaper in Curaçao printed this photo in 1955 and of course claimed that the KLM airliner had to wait for the train; however, a railway spur of German military origin skirts around the western perimeter at Hörsching. It seems odd, though, that this is a passenger train. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

The aircraft was ferried to Billund in August 2004 and registered OY-CVR but the project was cancelled and the aircraft scrapped at Billund in November 2006.
