Photo Comment

Entered service on 22 September 1944 and was assigned to the Reserve Equipment Maintenance Unit at Picton/ON in 1946. It then became 'free issue' to the Royal Canadian Flying Club Association, for use by Saskatoon Flying Club, but was never civil registered. It then emerged from storage somewhere in 1988 to become a museum exhibit as above.
