This aircraft is made up of parts collected from all over the world including Australia, Burma, England, France, Holland, Malta and New Zealand. As there was no dominant component part it has not utilised an identity. It is on display to honour Nanton-born identical twins Bruce and Douglas Warren. After learning to fly together at 5 Elementary Flying Training School at High River, Alberta they went on to fly RAF Spitfires with 165 and 66 Squadrons. Bruce flew 248 combat operations and Douglas 253. A remarkable feat that both survived through this period.
