The aircraft was delivered new to the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) in 1962 -

used by No. 417 Squadron at CFB Cold Lake, Alberta. Later used as instructional air-frame 876C from 10 August 1987, also marked 210AC for Aircraft Battle Damage Repair training. In storage at CFD Mountain View, Ontario in February 1995. On display on pedestal at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, Ontario from 2000.

 

Awaiting the visitors for "Air Force 100" on July 6/7th., 2024

Transports of the Royal Canadian Air Force were regular at Gatwick, operating into Europe as well as to North America,

 

I recall seeing Dakotas, Bristol170, Hercules and Canadair Yukons as well as these Boeings. Also I once saw a DHC Caribou flying over not far from Guildford. They had some Convair Liners too, but I never saw one.

 

They replaced the Yukons (a Bristol Britannia derivative) with five Boeing 707s which were originally ordered by the US carrier Western Airlines. This one is 13701.
