The Fort Model 60K was the only aircraft actually designed in Canada to be built during WWII. Intended as an interim trainer that was less expensive than the Harvard, it was not very successful although 100 were acquired from 1941. Most ended their days by 1944 as radio trainers and were sold off even before the war ended. The CWH example was the prototype, employed by the National Research Council Test & Development Establishment until it was assigned to 2 Wireless School in 1942 and is the only survivor that remains flyable. Note the overwing strut which adds to the ungainly appearance.

This Firefly is the former Royal Australian Navy Mk.VI WH632. The RAN disposed of the fighter in 1960 and it was then stored. After six years, WH632 was sold to the Camden Aviation Museum, Camden (NSW). In 1978 it was acquired by Canadian Warplane Heritage, who restored it to airworthy condition at Victoria (BC). It unfortunately crashed on delivery to Hamilton on 6 May 1992 and didn't fly again for three years. Grounded in 2013, it was only returned to flight a few weeks prior to this shot, taken just after a local flight.

Based in South Carolina with owner Bob Russell. Built by Flug Werk at Gammelsdorf, Munich and fitted with a Russian Shvetsov Ash-82 engine, a copy of the Wright R-1820 Cyclone. I believe the engine was sourced from a Petlyakov Pe-2 bomber. The same radial was used in the Li-2 and Il-14 airliners.

Besides the Battle of Britain Flight's PA474 in the UK, "Vera" (as she is known thanks to the painted code) is the world's only other airworthy Lancaster, although the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre's NX611 may in the not-too-distant future become the third.

The Finnish Border Guards used three Beavers from 1951 till 1988 for border patrol, search & rescue and air ambulance missions, often on floats or skis. This one was retired to the museum in February 1988. The Finnish AF also had three Beavers, but all were lost in accidents.

In my book, the star exhibit in the Finnish Aviation Museum, preserved exactly as it was when removed from Finnair service on 30th April 1980. Delivered new to Aero OY Finnish Air Lines in May 1953 as a CV-340 and converted to 440 in 1956. Challenging in those cramped conditions to get a nice shot, but an extension monopole allowing a high overhead view off the balcony helps considerably.

Over 10,000 Polikarpov I-16s were built in fighter and, like this Finnish survivor, in fighter-trainer configurations from 1934. Some remained in operation in Spain till as late as 1953. Finland's examples were captured Soviet machines from the Winter War period. This rare two-seater, the only surviving example of this variant in the world, was captured in autumn 1941 and served Le.Lv.48 and T-Le.Lv.35 before being placed in store in late 1942.

This is really C-47 N8383 - the real I-LEON was c/n 4316. It was flown from Florida to Turin in 1988 and painted in these colours for SAGAT, the operators of Turin airport, and placed on display near the main entry road in 1992.
