Notes: 10/15/05 - Another Canadian 3T, Beech 18. See notes on C-FKAK re the remanufacture program that led to the 3T.
According to Parmerter, the RAF was allocated 217 C-45F's (RAF Expediter Mk. II) under the Lend-Lease program, with 74 serialed in the HB208-299 series, this aircraft being HB210. Many were used in India and were shipped over by sea. Somehow HB210 wound up in the Canadian RCAF and went through their 3T program. It served with the 443 Squadron. It came into the Canadian civil system in 1966, probably about the time it was surplused.
