    30 December 1954

    Whilst at Edwards AFB., it seems perhaps that parts of s/n 562 / 53-2781 were used on this aircraft causing it to also be referred to as having this serial (562) which initially confused the record keeping. However with the assistance of Viking who hold the build records the correct provenance has been established. (DHC-2.com).
