Not quite - the ST-28 was built completely new!
The ST-28 prototype C-FYBM-X was a converted ST-27 c/n 005 and this was a converted Heron c/n 14087

Dear forumites,
yesterday I was told by the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada (formerly Western Canada Aviation Museum) that they had to scap the one and only Saunders ST-28 in 2014 because "vandals had rendered the airframe unfit for restoration"!
The Saunders ST-28 a commuter/taxi aircraft designed to meet FAR 25 for the US market for 22 passengers powered by two PT6A turboprops. December 12, 1975 the first production airplane c/n 101 registered C-GYAP flew - and made its last flight only some weeks later April 26, 1976. Since this time it was first stored in a hangar at the old Gimli airport and then parked outside, last position in 2012 between hangar #2 & 3.
I like to post five photos of her for all that maybe haven't seen this plane before, despite not knowing all the legal rights of the photos!
Martin
