Northrop Nomad Recovery Lake Muskoka, Canada.

Good to see that recovered, i found the accident record card in Air historical Branch in the 1980s and wrote about it in Aviation Archaeologist magazine.

The Royal Canadian Air Force received 32 Nomads that had been part of a French order of 93 aircraft. When France fell in 1940, this order was taken over by Great Britain who transferred 32 of the aircraft to Canada where they were used as advanced trainers and target tugs as part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan.These were serialed 3490 to 3521; all were assigned to No. 3 Training Command RCAF.

Nomad RCAF 3521, ex-A-17A. Crashed in Lake Muskoka, Ontario December 13, 1940; wreck found July 2010. Remains of crew recovered; salvage and recovery of aircraft by the RCAF in planning stages as of September 2013. Part of the wreck was raised on October 28, 2014. Plans are to recover the rest and put on display in CFB Trenton, Ontario, which is also where the RCAF Museum and the restored Halifax Mk.VII is located.

I had to google the name to find out what a Nomad looked like. Good to see another rare type being recovered for future generations to see and learn from.
