The date written on this photo is 12-4-1940 but with both the US (MM-DD-YYYY) and the more common international (DD-MM-YYYY) date styles used in Canada, the date was ambiguous. The April date has been used here because it is only three days after R3373 was delivered to the RCAF. A check of historical weather data reveals it did snow in Ottawa on April 11 and 12, 1940, so the presence of snow on the ground does not automatically rule out April. R3373 received the RCAF serial 6028, It was scrapped in 1943. Photo from: Library and Archives Canada
