We have three :

- C-FYNZ
- C-GKAO
- Third one I don't know the registration, haven't seen it with it yet! It's been rebuilt at some place, not ours.

Beavers are cooldoos!

considering the fact that the aussie air force used both beavers and otters then aren't they also warbirds of a type?

Yep.

The Yanks called them U-6 then L-20 (or was it L-23?).

KAO and YNZ are both ex military Beavers, the other is civilian.

So did the U.S. Military, this is one of those types that transcend labels of warbird or civilian and wouldn't be out of place in either forum.
