• F-BOOH de Havilland Canada Inc., Downsview, ON. Rolled out 21-Sep-1967. First flight 29-Nov-1967.
• F-BOOH Air Alpes, Chambéry, France. Delivered 07-Dec-1967.
Note: F-BOOH's delivery on 07-Dec-1967 allowed winter operations into the Courchevel Altiport as the Twin Otters were seemingly readily adaptable to be equipped with skis. Very shortly after F-BOOH’s delivery to Air Alpes the added complexities and very delicate and costly operation of the ski-equipped aircraft were realized when it was damaged during a training flight at the Courchevel Altiport. During the overhaul and repair of the aircraft, it is soon decided the Twin Otters would no longer be fitted with skis, due the penalty of being able to only transport 16 passengers instead of the usual 19, in order to compensate for the lateral instability of the ski equipped airplane at take off. In May, the aircraft rejoined the fleet after being overhauled and modified to a Series 200 configuration with a longer fuselage nose and more spacious cabin. As the Courchevel Altiport now conducts snow removal skis are no longer required.
Note: Wore RTF logos in 1971 as it acted as aerial relay aircraft for helicopter pictures of the Tour de France on July 1971.
