Operating with Blue Water Aviation Services. This was a summer of very high water levels, with the Winnipeg River flowing fast. Tied up to a small docking platform, but with additional reinforcement being provided by a line fixed to the parked truck. Completed in 1954 and crated for Norway as LN-SUV. Damaged in transit and returned. After repair, sold to Imperial Oil as CF-IOF. In 1999 became the prototype turbine conversion for the Czech Walter M-601 engine, fitted at McGregor, Texas. Blue Water carried out certification flight testing back at Silver Falls.

Ordered by Widerøs Flyveselskap & Polarfly A/S and destined to become LN-SUV, this Otter was damaged in transit to Norway and returned to DHC. Sold to Imperial Oil in October 1954 after repair, it operated for a long list of Canadian operators after 1969. The first Walter M601 turbine Otter conversion in 1999, the aircraft is pictured with Blue Water Aviation Services.

Built in 1954 and apart from a frustrated sale as LN-SUV to Widerøs, has carried the same registration all its service life. At the photo date it was a leaser with Eagle Aviation at Silver Falls and still there in 2023 with Blue Water Aviation Services.
