This aircraft was built in 1953 and was delivered to the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) with the tail number 21102. It initially served with 409 Tactical Fighter Squadron before later joining VU 33 Utility Squadron, both based out of CFB Comox. After the RCAF was absorbed into the new Canadian Forces, the aircraft was renumbered with tail number 133102 on November 11, 1970. When VU 33 Squadron disbanded in 1992, the aircraft was transferred to 414 Squadron, which assumed VU 33's duties. The aircraft was struck off in 2002 and later put on display at the Comox Air Force Museum Heritage Air Park.
