Acquired by Ilford-Riverton Airways in 1975 ex RCAF 12953 and here passed down to Austin Airways effective March 1986. On 21 May 1989, while with Central Mountain Air Services, it was burnt out after an engine fire and forced landing near Bronson Creek/BC (CYBM).

Built as 42-93432, this Dakota was delivered to the Royal Canadian Air Force as 969 May 23, 1944. It served long enough to get new serial number 12953 when the Air Force re-organized aircraft aerials in 1970. Stored in Saskatoon, SK in March 1975, it was with Ilford Riverton Airways by October 1975 as C-GWYX. Last with Central Mountain Air from February 1989, the aircraft experienced an engine fire on approach to Bronson Creek, BC May 21, 1989. The fire would not go out and a forced landing was made. Both pilots escaped unhurt, but the aircraft was destroyed by fire.
