Sharing the end story of De Havilland Heron DH114 14051 G-AZSO. 14051 was bought by Saunders Aircraft Corporation of Gimli Canada from Fairflight in 1974, flown to Gimli and converted to a Saunders Aircraft ST-27 #013/14015 turboprop by Saunders Aircraft Corporation in 1975. ST-27 #013/14015 was sold to a small air operation in Thunder Bay Canada call ON AIR in 1976.
ST-27 #013/14015 catches fire during a fuel pump repair while parked on the airport apron at Dryden Canada. The mechanic'ss 110V shop light rolled off the wing and the light bulb broke in a puddle of fuel and ignited. ON AIR wanted a cash settlement from the insurer while the insurer wanted to fix ST-27 #013/14015.
Repairs were made, however the owner deemed the repairs unsatisfactory, a lawsuit followed with a settlement I believe in favour of the owner ON AIR, however ST-27 #013/14015 never returned to service and sat dissasembled at the Thunder Bay Canada airport for many years.
