This aircraft is made up of parts collected from all over the world including Australia, Burma, England, France, Holland, Malta and New Zealand. As there was no dominant component part it has not utilised an identity. It is on display to honour Nanton-born identical twins Bruce and Douglas Warren. After learning to fly together at 5 Elementary Flying Training School at High River, Alberta they went on to fly RAF Spitfires with 165 and 66 Squadrons. Bruce flew 248 combat operations and Douglas 253. A remarkable feat that both survived through this period.

RAF Spitfire TE294 was transferred to the South African Air Force in 1947, but suffered extensive damage in a landing accident in 1951. Remains stored until 1981 when restoration was begun by a private collector who later brought the project to Canada in 90s. Restoration was continued at the Comox Air Force Museum and later at Vintage Wings of Canada in Gatineau, Quebec. First flight after restoration was made in 2017.
