A 1966 Cessna 150F, registration CF-UHG, Serial Number 15063663 was purchased by the DHESC in June 1973 for $6,200, with no liens or mortgage. Flying club operations started on 22 June, but not any flight training operations which required an OC. C-FUHG had 1,979 hours TTSN when purchased.
Initially the aircraft was kept at King City airport, but at the end of August was moved to Downsview.
Application was made for an OC, and for a Commercial Registration, and for permission to operate at Toronto Island. Bill Tee, as Chairman, wrote several letters for these purposes.

Letter dated 22 March from MCW Davy confirming that he accepts the position of CFI, for OC application. Similar letter from Terry Rawlins as AME.
20 June - OC 3421 issued to DHESC as Air Carrier, based at Toronto Island. TC fee of $50 for OC.
Downsview was ruled out because of proximity to Toronto International Airport & the fact that it was a military airport under the control of DND.
8 July - C of R issued for UHG as Commercial.
5 November - Letter from Ministry of Manpower & Immigration certifying DHESC as an Educational Institution for the purposes of the Income Tax Act
