Thiis Kittyhawk was built in 1942 and was intended for the RAF as AL135 but instead joined the RCAF and served in the defence of BC before being relegated to training duties and then being placed in Storage. Fortunately she was earmarked for preservation at an early stage and so joined the Canada Aviation Museum and is currently part of their Reserve Collection. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
