Unknown photographer - no photo info. Built by Canadair and TOC by the RCAF on 01 May 1962. Based at Marville, France in 1965 and Lahr, West Germany in 1968. Crashed on 06 Nov 1969 while flying with 441 Squadron. Struck a 600 foot ridge near Leyrieu in France during a low level training mission. Pilot killed. The aircraft photo shows RCAF titles so probably shot in 1968 or earlier before the change of titles to Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). Location could possibly be Marville in France but no proof of this. This photo was added on 25 February 2024, and has since been viewed 329 times. |
