This sole remaining complete Typhoon is now on display at the CASM as a loan from the RAF Museum Hendon as a tangible token of gratitude, in this D-Day commemorative year, for the sacrifices of Canadians and the RCAF during WWII. This example was never flown in combat. rather it was originally allocated to the USAAF for evaluation and comparison trials. Fortunately after the war it was allocated to the NMUSAF and eventually placed in storage with the Smithsonian Institute, before being returned to the UK in 1968.

This Lancaster was built by Victory Aircraft Ltd at Malton, ON and was delivered to 425 'Alouette' Squadron, RCAF in May 1945 but just too late to take part in offensive operations. She was then placed in to storage but served briefly in 1952 with 404 Maritime Patrol Squadron, RCAF at Greenwood, NS. It is the most complete Lancaster X in existence, remaining very close to its wartime condition, and is now on display at the Canada Aviation & Space Museum.

This Battle was manufactured in 1940 as a pilot trainer in Stockport, England but was immediately transferred to the RCAF serving with No. 31 Service Flying School at Kingston, Ontario. In December 1942 it was converted to a turret-gunnery trainer at St. Jean, Quebec by installing a Bristol turret used on the Canadian-made Bolingbroke. It served briefly at No. 3 Bombing and Gunnery School in Macdonald, Manitoba before storage and is now part of the Reserve Collection at the Canada Aviation Museum.

This Lanc was built by Victory Aircraft Ltd at Malton, ON and arrived in England during Jan. 1945 to serve with 428 Squadron. Post-war she returned to Canada and was used for a while as a Firebee drone mothership before being scrapped. At least the nose has survived and is on display beside an elevated walkway so visitors can see inside the cockpit, at the Canada Aviation & Space Museum.

This Komet was delivered to JG/400 in 1945 but captured intact at Husum and sent to the UK for testing. It was shipped to Montreal as a war prize in 1946 and subsequently placed into storage in a number of different locations. It underwent restoration by staff from the Canada Aviation & Space Museum during 2000-2001 and is now on display wearing JG/400 markings once again.

This Comet was built as a 1A and delivered to the RCAF during March 1953. This example was one of four frames that were upgraded to a 1XB standard (Sept. 57) with a reinforced fuselage structure and oval windows. During March 1964 she was wfu and subsequently broken up so that only the nose has survived at the Canada Aviation Museum.
