EZ671 should really be FZ671 and it is the former 12944.

World War II 42-92454 was delivered to the Royal Air Force as FZ671. Transferred to the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1946, the aircraft received serial 12944 in 1970 as the Air Force re-organized aircraft identifications. Struck off strength in 1989, it became part of the Comox Air Force Museum in British Columbia. It is displayed there in wartime colors with original FZ671 serial.

Delivered to the USAAF as 42-92454 then to the RAF as FZ671 in 1944. In Sep-1945 to RCAF 437 Sqn and taken on charge by the RCAF in 1946. Serial changed to 12944 in 1970. Preserved at CFB Comox from 1989.

The Z2 code is the 437 Sqn code.

This aircraft was painted in its Second World War colours (European) for a pre-retirement cross-country tour and represented the aircraft flown by RCAF 437 Squadron in 1944-45. At the end of the tour the aircraft was presented to the Comox Air Force Museum for static display.

This Dak has recently been given a new paint scheme and is waiting for its control surfaces to be re-installed. It is former FZ671/12944, but incorrect serial EZ671 is vaguely visible on the tail (should be FZ671), with traces of 12944 shining through.
