Originally 8R-GDC delivered to Guyana Airways August 22, 1968. Bought by a broker in December 1974, it was sold to Northern Thunderbird the following June. It was photographed as it arrived in Vancouver for a lease to West Coast Air Services that lasted to April 1980 when the aircraft was returned to NT Air and sold to Kimba Air. The next 25 years were short term leases until a more permanent one with Maldavian Air Taxi/Trans Maldavian Airways was arranged in November 2006 and the Twin Otter was registered 8Q-MAT. It's still current at the time of uploading.
