This was the first Labrador used by the Canadian military. Its entire career was spent as a search-and-rescue (SAR) helicopter. Taken on strength in September 1963, the Labrador went to No. 102 Composite Unit in Trenton, Ontario, which became No. 424 Squadron in 1968. Severely damaged by fire in July 1969, it was repaired and returned to service. The Labrador was part of a detachment moved to Torbay, Newfoundland in 1977. This detachment became No. 103 Rescue Unit when it moved to Gander, Newfoundland later that year. The Labrador went back to Trenton in the early 2000s.

The last Canadian Forces Labrador to serve, it was retired in 2004. The Canadian Forces' donation of the aircraft to the Museum in July 2004 was an event that marked the retirement of the Labrador fleet.
