These were the shots that made me think they may be yours. Jamie must have been close by when he took his. Fantastic shots by both guys.

Bob Swaddling at Sky Harbour knew what he was doing when they picked the colour scheme for the Mustang. It represents an aircaft of RCAF 442 Sq who flew Mustang IVs during the last month of the war. These guys operated out of the UK and were involved in the liberation of the Channel Islands on the day after the war (that is 9 May 1945). This was probably the last combat operation of the war in Europe.
This aircraft was the odd one in the squadron Y2*C. It had a North American canopy (which is a bit taller and not as ‘flat’,) and the usual cuffed Hamilton Standard prop. This is a normal US P-51D so does not have the louvers that the Mustang IVs had. This would be the correct markings for this particular aircraft a P51D not a Mustang IV. For more pictures check out:

That is fantastic news a flypast of the Spitfire, Hurricane, and Mustang IV would be great to see. Now add the CWH Lancaster what a sight that would be. If they could ever get together with Ed Russells collections and CWH we could have an excellent warbird show.
Now add the Harvards …… wishful thinking!!
Too bad they got rained out for the first fly day those of us from Project Northstar were hoping to get over and help out.

One of the Fireflys brought back is now in storage at the CAM with the bullet holes showing where it had been used as target practice. Hopefully it will be restored someday.
I wish the CAM could use a more discrete way of marking their photos they destroy some great images of aircraft in the collection.

As far as I know it went right into storage, It was replaced by the ME109. The pics show it being loaded into a CAF Herc for transit to Winnipeg.

One of the last jumps that Canadian paras made was a water drop while training at CJATC Rivers Manitoba. After the drop it was customary for the drop aircraft a C119 Boxcar to do a low pass accross the lake to make sure everyone was clear. Of course it soon became a contest to see who could kick up the largest rooster tail. That was great site seeing a lumbering Boxcar with a rooster tail behind as it came down the lake wish I had a photo to share.

By now most of you must have seen these shots of the Waterskiing Harvards in South Africa. Check out the site at:
