C-GKBX deHavilland Canada DHC.6 Twin Otter 300 (floats) Harbour Air YVR 27AUG00

            Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 10-Mar-21.

Leased from Kenn Borek Air.  (some of these histories are confusing and take time to work out, especially when Kenn Borek Air are involved, they are leased out all over the world).

This aircraft was delivered to Brymon Airways (UK) as G-BFGP in Feb-78.  It was sold to Aurigny Air Services (Guernsey) in May-80.  It was sold to Spacegrand Aviation Services (UK) in May-83.  The aircraft was wet-leased to Brymon Airways between May/Dec-86 then leased to National Aviation (UK) in Nov-87.  It was returned to Spacegrand and sold to BAC Leasing in Jul-89.  The aircraft was leased to Aerolift Philippines Corporation as RP-C1217 in Aug-89 and returned to BAC Leasing as G-BFGP in Mar-90.  It was sold to Kenn Borek Air (Canada) and leased back to BAC Leasing the same month.  The aircraft was returned to Kenn Borek Air as C-GKBX in Mar-91.  It was wet leased to Thai Flying Service between Apr/Oct-94.  It was leased to Virgin Islands Airways as VP-LVT in Dec-94 and returned to Kenn Borek as C-GKBX in Feb-96.  The aircraft was leased to Harbour Air (Canada) between May/Oct-96 (there's a glitch here in that it was still in service for Harbour Air when I took the photo in Aug-00) and leased to Maldivian Air Taxi (Maldives) as 8Q-MAP in Mar-01 and returned to Kenn Borek as C-GKBX in Jul-04.  It was leased to Maldivian Air Taxi as 8Q-MAP in Oct-05 and returned to Kenn Borek as C-GKBX in Jun-09.  Then leased to Maldivian Air Taxi as 8Q-MAP again in Dec-09.  Maldivian Air Taxi was merged into Trans Maldivian Airways in Aug-13.  Now 43 years old, the aircraft is still in service with Trans Maldivian.  Current, updated Mar-21.
