This Sabre was delivered to the RCAF on 5 December 1951. It was deployed to No. 2 Fighter Wing at RCAF Grostenquin in France. Already three years later, on 19 September 1954, the aircraft was struck off strength and subsequently donated to the Greek AF. It guards the Andravida gate at least since 1990.
