The Historic Aircraft Preservation Society obtained this CL-13 Sabre 4 but after the demise of the society it morphed into Reflectaire Limited and the Sabre was moved from Biggin Hill to Lavenham where I photographed it late one Sunday afternoon just before Christmas 1969. I don't know when the USAF markings were applied but note the Italian Air Force roundel on the wing upper surface. The first flight was made as RCAF 19607 on 18-Mar-1953. Already in Jun-1953 it went to the RAF as XB733 and in Aug-1956 to the Italian AF as 19607. In Mar-1966 it was registered G-ATBF and that was cancelled in Feb-1979.
