Built in 1942 for US Navy as NH-1 Nightingale BuAer 44925 equipped for instrument training. Sold post-war as N1212M and later to Canada as C-FNWK.

This tattered Yale was delivered to the RCAF August 23, 1940. Sold post-war to eccentric farmer Ernie Simmons who bought other Yales, Westland Lysanders and Fairey Swordfish. Left out in his field, he rarely sold anything and after his death in 1970, his collection was put up for auction. This Yale eventually went to the Canadian Warplane Heritage for restoration as C-GCWY. After restoration to flying condition, it was re-registered CF-CWZ and is still in the collection.
