RCAF 1899 Loaned by Charles Church to the Imperial War Museum.

This Battle is in reality ex-R3950 of the RAF and ex-1899 of the RCAF. It is a former member of the Strathallan Collection and has been undergoing resoration at the superb Koninklijk Legermuseum/Belgique Musée Royal de l'Armée et d'Histoire Militaire in Brussels to honour Capt André Glorie who was KIA flying T-70 in 1940.

The Belgian army got 16 Battle light bombers in 1938. On 11 May 1940, six of them were shot down in a single attack against German-held bridges over the Albert Canal. The pilot of T-70, Capt André Glorie, was killed. His aircraft is represented by R3950 which served in the RAF and RCAF. Its restoration is unfortunately incomplete.
