N610LC first saw light as Beaver AL.1 XP776. The aircraft served 8 Independent Recce Flight at RAF Eastleigh, Kenya from May 1961 until November 1963. After some years on the Canadian civil register (C-GPAB) the Beaver became N610LC in 2004. For some time the Beaver was based at Akureyri. It remains unclear if the intended registration TF-ABK was applied. Sadly the aircraft was lost on 9 August 2015 on a ferry flight from Akureyri to Keflavik. The Beaver crashed on Tröllaskagi in the Barkárdalur valley, to the west of Akureyri.
