Summary

[edit]
Description

c/n 12254. Built 1944. Allocated US military serial 42-92452, but immediately transferred to the RAF as ‘FZ669’. Later saw RCAF service initially as ‘FZ669’ and later as ‘12943’. Sold off in 1976, it initially became ‘C-GCXE’ in Canada, then ‘HH-CMG’ in Haiti, ‘HI-502’ in the Dominican Republic and finally ‘N688EA’ back in the U.S.A., which it was wearing when I noted it at Opa Locka, Florida, in April 1999. It is now restored in Gulf Aviation colours as ‘G-AMZZ’ and is on display at the Al Mahatta Aviation Museum, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.
