A few pictures taken at Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum “Soar with Legends” on Saturday,,,it was a bit of a cloudy day but the boys still managed to put on a good open house event..it was the first “Public engine run” of the newly restored Lysander…and a few of the regular were in flying mode for the public to see up and close…many of the flyers were also open to the public including their Lancaster…Always a treat to climb into her especially when you have to enter thru the bomb aimer escape hatch…

It is a DH Buffalo. The rest of the airframe is stored outside the storage shed.

i think you will find it’s a Buffalo – the radome is the real giveaway
i could be wrong but I have been in and around caribous a lot and it looks more like the Buffalo to me – I can’t say I ever saw a caribou with a radome.

I would say that it is either a Caribou or a Buffalo. I’ve read a story about the airframe somewhere a while back but I can’t remember what exactly it is.
I know the Caribou had -2800s and the Buffalo had turbines but I can’t tell the difference by those two pics of it.
The Lysander looks great and should make for some very interesting air to airs whenever they get taken.

Something from DeHaviland Canada perhaps?
