03/31/2009. Showing the sole Dart Herald that flew with Eastern Province Airways (EPA), the aircraft was first flown on March 2, 1962 and delivered to Nordair of Montreal, Quebec on March 13, 1962. Subsequently it was sold to Maritime Central Airways (MCA) in November 1962, to be sold to EPA just before EPA and MCA merged in September 1963.

CF-NAF was lost on March 17, 1965 on a scheduled flight from Moncton, New Brunswick, to Torbay, Newfoundland. It had left Halifax for Sydney, Nova Scotia, and had reached an altitude of 11,500 to 12,000 ft (3,505 to 3,658 m) when it disintegrated due to corrosion caused by the collection of "bilge fluid" (from condensation) in a spot extremely difficult to detect through normal maintenance inspection procedures.
