The aircraft was registered N91827 and died in Alaska in 1963 whilst on floats. 😉

it was a one off conversion for the Hudson Bay Company of canada. One of the early production airframes, 15th in fact as CF-DJH . IIRC it was only on floats for a short time before being converted to conventional under carriage? It was sold to the US in the 60’s but is no longer current.
