Summary

[edit]
Description

c/n CV-209. Built in Canada by Canadian-Vickers in late 1940. 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 were carried. Purchased by the RAF Museum in 1970, she was dismantled and brought to the UK in two RAF Short Belfast transports. She was then restored and repainted at RAF Henlow and in 1972 she went on permanent display in the main historic hangars at Hendon. The only complete survivor of the type, she remains on display in Hangar 4. RAF Museum London. Hendon, Greater London, UK
