    Notes: At Norwegian Aviation Museum at Bodo, Norway

    2016

    The Otter remained on display at the Bodo Aviation Museum until May 2016. At that stage, due to a shortage of space and the fact that this particular aircraft had never flown in Norway, having spent its entire career in Canada, a decision was taken to dismantle the Otter and it was moved into storage in one of the Hardened Aircraft Shelters on the Air Force Base at Bodo which adjoins the Museum. In summer 2017 it was still in storage there, not accessible by the public, and awaiting a decision as to its future.

    Unknown

    Spotted in storage with Kenmore Air (S60).
