Taken on strength by the Canadian Air Force April 19, 1971, this is one of a few CH-135s that have yet to be struck off strength. Most aircraft were returned to the USA for for service with the Colombian Army and Police. 135102 was placed on display at the RCAF Memorial Museum by December 2004 and wears markings used by Canada during peace keeping duties for the United Nations.

Havards served widely in Canada from 1939 to 1960, this example being initially used for pilot training by 411 Sqdn at RCAF Station Toronto. It later moved to No.6 Repair Depot in Trenton and subsequently served at Summerside, PEI from 1956. It was sold to a private individual in in Ontario in 1960 but was stored outside and never flown again, requiring significant restoration before being placed on display, to begin with in Toronto and at the NAFMC since 2007.

In the early days of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP), the Anson was selected as the primary twin-engine aircraft for the training of pilots, observers, wireless- operators, and bomb aimers. Over 20,000 aircrew received their training on the aircraft. This example was created using fuselage and various assorted pieces obtained from the Reynolds Aviation Museum in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, in October 2005. The aircraft had been lying unprotected in a field for around 60 years, and its identity is unknown. The impressive restoration was completed in 2017.

Almost 400 Expeditors were operated by Canada in the utility/transport, training and comms roles, this example from 1952 to 1968. Previous to its arrival at the Trenton museum, it was preserved at Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.

North American's Yale was a fixed undercarriage, lower powered, lighter weight version of the Harvard. Both evolved from the 1935 NA-16. In 1939 France ordered 230 Yales but when the country fell in 1940, 119 en route were diverted to Canada for use by the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Almost 100 already in France were impressed by the Luftwaffe. As Harvards took over the training role, like the Fleet Forts, the Yales were relegated to radio training, carrying heavy gear in the rear cockpit which stressed engines, often needing repair. 3411 was assigned to 1 FTS Camp Borden in 1940.

After 40 years of service with 450 Sqdn (Uplands), 424 Sqdn (Trenton) and 413 Sqdn/103 Rescue Unit (Gander), this characterful helicopter was retired to the museum in 2004. Originally known as a Voyageur and used in the army transport role, it was modified with Search and Rescue equipment and was then given the type name Labrador.
