de Havilland Canada DHC-5A / CC-115 Buffalo 115465 from the 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron, 19 Wing at the Kamloops Airshow sometime in the 1990's.
(Scanned from a photograph)
Delivery by flatbed truck is perhaps not the most dignified arrival for an iconic aircraft, but the last operational CC-115 Buffalo, serial 115452, now resides in the reserve hangar of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa, safely preserved for generations to appreciate.
The search-and-rescue (SAR) aircraft was unveiled in its final resting place after serving 55 years as a tactical transport and SAR platform for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF).
The DHC-5 utility transport turboprop rolled off the de Havilland Canada production line in 1967 and entered service in July with 429 Squadron in Saint-Hubert, Que.
Renowned for its remarkable short takeoff and landing ability, the derivative of the piston-powered DHC-4 Caribou was converted to a SAR role in the late 1970s.

Nice to see they gave credit to the crew responsible for preparing the aircraft to go to the museum. 'Demil' = Demilitarize
