Bought by Northwestern Air Lease in 1969 and converted for fire-fighting as CF-TQC, with a short retardant- bombing spell in 1971. Purchased by Sir William Roberts in 1974 for his Strathallan Collection. Ferried trans-Atlantic from St Albert, Alberta to Glasgow in May 1975, then to Strathallan on its last-ever flight, in June 1975." (www.airhistory.net)
