Last active as BB-131 with the Luftwaffe in January 1960, this Sabre was first taken on charge by the RCAF in March 1954. It went to Germany in September 1957 and was preserved at various locations until arriving in Bochum in late 1988. Of the different colour schemes it got here, the pink one was probably the ugliest, and this one the dullest - but at least it survived.
