The RCAF Otter was damaged on a Christmas supply run along the Labrador coast when its port ski broke through the ice while taxiing to shore. The crew left the sinking aircraft after offloading the cargo, and no one was injured. The aircraft was too badly damaged to repair and was struck off RCAF inventory in March 1957.
