Photo Comment

Ex CF-KCG, Royal Canadian Navy 326, US Navy 69327. It was damaged beyond repair in a forced landing in Canada on 29 May 1975 following fuel starvation, and acquired by the IWM in 1977. It arrived at Duxford in November 1977 and eventually restored for exhibition in the American Air Museum, painted as 46214/X3 flown by George H. W. Bush.
