Photo Comment

World War II 42-92454 was delivered to the Royal Air Force as FZ671. Transfered to the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1946, the aircraft received serial 12944 in 1970 as the Air Force re-organized aircraft identifications. Struck off strength in 1989, it became part of the Comox Air Force Museum in British Colombia. It is displayed there in wartime colors with original FZ671 serial.
