Not knowing what to expect in the future, Dan McIvor of Forest Industries Flying Tankers also acquired the nose section of this unfinished aircraft, and it too was transported to Canada. But it was never put to use and lingered in the brushwood close to their Sproat Lake base for what must have been 40 or perhaps even 45 years, with weeds and small trees growing all around it.

This nose section was finally recovered in the summer of 2007 by the Coulson family, when they took over the company. They restored it and painted it in the same red and white colours as their two Mars flying boats, and then placed it on display at the newly established visitors centre at the Sproat Lake base.
