This Heron started life with Cambrian Airways Ltd as G-AOGU in 1956 and then to Sudflug in 1962 as D-CASI. Next it went to Dan-Fly in 1963 as OY-DPO and then to Faroe Airways in 1965, subsequently with Danish Aero Lease in December of that year, and later to Cimber Air and Executive Air Engineering Ltd, reverting to G-AOGU in 1967. Returned to the German register in July 1970, as D-CAHA with Bruno Hoffman, noted at Fairoaks, U.K. in 1973, prior to its new lease of life when it moved to Canada, acquired by the Saunders Aircraft Co, of Gimli, Manitoba and re-registered C-FJFH. This company specialised in converting Herons from a four piston engine aircraft to being powered by two turboprops. The fuselage was stretched and became known as the Saunders ST-27. However the project collapsed when the Manitoba government withdrew funding in 1976. It continued to operate with St. Andrews Airways, Winnipeg and Air Atonabee until it was scrapped in 1991.
