Airworthy Harvard belonging to The Fighter Collection. This aircraft was built in Dec 1942 at Montreal. She served with No. 1 Training Command, RCAF until struck off charge in June 1947. After refurbishment, the Harvard served as an advanced trainer with the Swedish Air Force from Aug 1948 till Mar 1972. It then went to a technical school as an instructional airframe. It joined TFC in 1990 and returned to the air in May 1996. The restoration shows a machine gun fitted to the starboard wing.
