The majority of the production run was purchased by the RCAF where the aircraft proved popular and versatile, if somewhat temperamental due to leaky hulls that required constant maintenance (a problem afflicting all wooden hulled flying boats). The Vedette undertook photographic and forestry patrols satisfactorily and provided a backbone for RCAF flying operations through the lean peacetime years. Vedettes started a coast-to-coast photographic survey that was needed to map out the large areas of the country still unmapped. These missions lasted until the outbreak of the 168: 527:, Manitoba. Unveiled on 24 May 2002, this was built with templates made from the remains of three different Vedette wrecks. These fragments helped with the creation of blueprints created by a WCAM volunteer who had worked for Canadian Vickers as a junior draughtsman. This project took over 100 volunteers 22 years and was built to 1920s airworthiness standards, but there are no plans to fly it, and it has not been certified. While three wrecks were used, the bulk of the information was contributed by CF-MAG. For this reason, it was decided to use this former registration number. 28: 578: 497: 215:

Each version was produced with a variety of engine types, so that Mk.IIs used the 215 hp (160 kW) Lynx IV, the 200 hp (150 kW) Wright J-4 or the 220 hp (160 kW) Wright J-5, while the Mk.V used the Lynx IV, the Wright J-5 or the 300 hp (220 kW) Wright J-6.
