This aircraft was with Brawdy Station Flight so the RCAF crest on the nose was likely acquired when the Canadians brought their Sabres in 1957 to work up on the firing range in preparation for that year's Guynemer gunnery trophy. Entered service in 1953 and sold as scrap here at Abbotsinch in 1960. This photo was added on 24 November 2021, and has since been viewed 326 times. |
