This Avenger was constructed by Fairey Aviation in Canada and went to the Royal Canadian Navy as 69327 in 1950. In 1961 it worked with Skyway Air Service, and in 1969 it went to Conair until 1976 when it was damaged in an accident in New Brunswick. From there it found its way to the Imperial War Museum in England where it hangs from the ceiling representing an Avenger flown by George Bush during World War II.
