After completion the aircraft was transferred to the RAF, and was designated Dakota Mk.III, s/n KG455. With 233 Squadron it participated in Operation Coup de Main / Operation Tonga, delivering the 6th Airborne division into Normandy on the morning of D-Day, June 6, 1944.

On April 16, 1946 it was transferred to the RCAF and operated under the RAF serial KG455. In the 1950s it was assigned to 137 Transport Flight which was formed at RCAF Lachine (Dorval), Quebec on August 1, 1952 and transferred to 1 Air Division as a component of 30 Air Material Base at RAF Langar, England on October 20, 1952.
