This beautiful Aircraft Restoration Company Harvard was built in Canada in 1953 for the USAF, with which it served as 53-4619. After being sold to the German Air Force as a pilot trainer (serving as AA050 and BG050) and then the Portuguese Air Force (as 1747) she arrived in the UK and given a RCAF scheme but after undergoing a thorough refurbishment from 1993 to 2000 she was repainted to fly again as 1747.
