Ex USAAF 42-92139, RAF FL547, Trans-Canada Air Lines, Transair. Withdrawn from service by Lambair in 1970 still in its Transair livery and donated to the Western Canada Aviation Museum. The wings were crudely hacked off and the aircraft was moved to a farm at Selkirk, Manitoba. It later returned to Winnipeg Airport and was put in the long grass near the perimeter fence. Research into its brief wartime military history revealed a strong link to the Polish forces and it has now found a home in Poland where it will be restored as FL547.

First operator after the RAF was Trans Canada Airlines. Here in Transair service it is being refueled at the GA pumps while loading baggage for the next flight. Livery is gold stripe and fin with red rudder. In 1970 it was WFU and stored dismantled by the Western Canada Aviation Museum. There were plans to send it to Poland as, when in RAF service, it was in dedicated Polish Army VIP use.
