This particular Twin Otter (Construction number 782) was built in Canada in 1983 and registered in Canada as C-GEVP most probably for pre-delivery test flights. It was due to be delivered to Ecuadorian Air Force (FAE - Fuerza Aérea Ecuatoriana) with serial number FAE-782 but somehow Ecuadorian Air Force did not take delivery of this aircraft.
Later it was registered in Pakistan as AP-BBR in November 1983 and delivered to OGDCL.
