    Event

    Constructed as a DH-83C by deHavilland Canada at Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

    2 May 1989

    To Maxwell W Ward, Edmonton, AB with new c/r CF-DJB.

    June 1989

    Based at Canada Aviation and Space Museum, Rockcliffe, Ottawa, ON.
    Built in Canada in 1947, this Fox Moth was owned by a number of operators before Maxwell Ward (founder of Wardair Inc., a private Canadian airline company) purchased it in the 1980s. Ward had the aircraft repainted to match the markings of his first bush plane (a de Havilland Fox Moth that he had bought in 1946 and used for several years until it was destroyed in a crash in the 1950s). Ward restored this Fox Moth and presented it to the Museum in 1989.
