The aircraft was one of the contestants in the London to Victoria, BC. air race that had gathered at Abingdon prior to the start. It was removed from the Canadian register in March 1997 and was last reported stored with the Nanton Lancaster Society Museum, at Nanton, AB. in June 2001.

This was the only shot I got of this Expeditor without the pilots jacket hanging on the tailfin after he dropped in at Heathrow for a break before the July 71 Victoria B.C Air Race. I gave him directions to Richmond, Surrey for a Hotel with a view of the Thames and the LHR flight path. I hope he had a quiet time!
