Gate guardian found at the turn-off to Turku Airport

This is the last Tracker to leave the production line at Toronto Downsview Airport for the Royal Canadian Navy, #99. It wore the registration mark "1600" when in the Navy. Was briefly moved to the civilian register as C-FUDQ from April 1996 until cancelled in May 1998, but continued to display 1600 for historical/display purposes. For a long time, this aircraft was displayed in the Canadian Air & Space museum at the Toronto Downsview airport, but when it closed in 2011, the aircraft was stored in a variety of places before finding their new forever home on display at the Edenvale Aerodrome.

This Flug Werk 190 was built at Ingolstadt - Manching (ETSI) and was the 21st of the type to be completed. The plane then underwent an extensive flight test programme as D-FWSE before being ferried to Sweden in June 2017. Due to regulatory requirements the FW-190 (note the capital FW designation is a deliberate differentiator from the Fw used by the Focke-Wulf WWII originals) had to adopt a Swedish registration, whilst the owners work towards an airworthiness clearance. In the meantime the plane provides an interesting new exhibit to be viewed during the normal opening hours.
