I do believe Vintage Wings of Canada’s Lysander will most likely fly this year (that’ll make 2 airworthy over here)

Also hope to see the Swordfish in the air again to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Navy.

There were three RCAF Squadrons, Nos 438, 439 and 440 Sqns, that flew the Hawker Typhoon during WWII.

There is also a new build Hawker Fury under going restoration at Vintage Wings of Canada in Gatineau Quebec. It is part of the Michael Potter Collection and came from George Neal who also built the Hind at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum. It is to be restored to fly.

Canadian Battle R7439 was the sole aircraft to be equipped with the Wright R1820 Cyclone radial engine powerplant as a study of potential alternative engines in the event of supply interruptions of the Merlin. This engine did develop up to 1350 hp in later versions but not sure what version was actually used for this test, would be interesting to know how it performed. Since this was the only one converted I suspect the results were not very encouraging.

Joined Mike Potter, John Aiken, Dave Hadfield and the staff involved for a little celebration this morning. She flew twice more this time John lifted the gear then Mike took her for his first flight. Got a few shots of her on the ramp, great for all involved.

On September 16,1943: First Canadian built Lancaster X KB700 arrives in England

I was led to believe that PA474 was fitted with the larger Lancaster MkV (Lincoln) rudders when she was being used for R&D on laminar flow wing tests on such aircraft as the Folland Midge, until replaced by Lincoln B2 RF342 at Cranfield in 1958. This was done because this configuration gave better directional stability for the trials. They were never replaced when PA474 was recovered by No 44 Squadron B.C based at Waddington, after the aircraft had been passed through storage at Wroughton and Henlow..
