Summary

Description

c/n CV-209. Built late 1940 in Canada by Canadian-Vickers. Flew operationally with the RCAF until April 1944. Sold in May 1944 as the first Stranraer civil conversion and registered as ‘CF-BXO’. Continued civil operations until August 1966 and then stored. During its years in civil use, several minor non-standard modifications had been carried out. Purchased by the RAF Museum in 1970, it was dismantled and brought to the UK in two RAF Short Belfasts. It was then restored and repainted at Henlow and in 1972 it went on permanent display in the main historic hangars at Hendon, where it remains today as the only complete survivor of the type. RAF Museum, Hendon, London, UK.
