The Fleet Finch was well liked by the RCAF as it was rugged and quite easy to fly. The last served until 1947, but most were retired by October 1944. Their role as a primary trainer was taken over by Fairchild PT-26 Cornell. Finch Mk2 4738 was constructed at Fort Erie, ON and delivered to the RCAF in 1940. The aircraft served as a primary pilot trainer at several BCATP Elementary Flying Training Schools before it was retired in 1944. After several rebuilds, it now displays its original 22 EFTS markings from 1943 when based at Ancienne Lorette, now Quebec City Airport.
