Photo Comment

This is a composite rebuild of two RCAF aircraft: 9895 and 10038. They were both sold for scrap/parts after WWII and fell into severe disrepair. The latter was painstakingly restored to airworthiness in 1987 only for it to crash almost immediately. The remains from both have been combined and are now on display at the Koninklijk Legermuseum/Belgique Musée Royal de l'Armée et d'Histoire Militaire.
