Candair Sabre

Hi,

I wondered if anyone knows the history of Canadair CL-13 Sabre Mk 2 19183 (constructors number 83)? I understand she served with 410 and 441 Squadrons at North Luffenham and may have been sold to Turkey in 1956.

Any details that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. Ideally, a full history of the aircraft would be wonderful, but anything at all that helps piece its history together would be very useful.

David,

I don’t have a copy of this book. Would it be possible to post the information relating to 19183, or the bibliographical details? The former would be better, if possible, because it could take some time before I’m able to get the book and having the information available sooner would be ideal.

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

Ian – pick up a copy of Duncan Curtiss’s book on the type.
