Delivered new to TCA Trans Canada Airlines as CF-THQ in Feb-58, TCA was renamed Air Canada in Jun-64. It was initially withdrawn from use and stored at Montreal-Dorval in Aug-71 and later transferred to Winnipeg.

It was sold to United Aircraft Services Ltd in Apr-94 and, technically, became C-FTHQ the following month when the Canadian Government also introduced the C-Gxxx registration series.

It was sold to Beaver Enterprises in Jun-75 as part of a 24 aircraft deal. They sold it to Wabush Mines in Sep-76. It was sold to Filair Airlines, Zaire, in Jan-88 as 9Q-CTU.

It suffered a landing accident at Kinshasa in Mar-92 when the starboard undercarriage leg was torn off. It was stored at Kinshasa until it was sold it to Bazair in 1996. It was repaired and operated for two years until it was retired at Boende, Dem Republic of Congo in 1998. It was noted still there, derelict, in Feb-13.
