Canadian Warbird Survivors: A Handbook on Where to Find Them

By Harold A. Skaarup

The purpose of this handbook is to provide aviation enthusiasts with a simple checklist on where to find the surviving retired military aircraft that are preserved in Canada. The majority of the Canadian Warbird Survivors are on display within a great number of well maintained aviation museums, many others are displayed as gate guards near or in a number of Canadian Forces Bases, and a good number are in the hands of private collectors. Many are not listed in any catalogue, but have been found by word of mouth, or personal observation.
The museum staffs and volunteer organizations throughout Canada have done a particularly good job of preserving the great variety of Canadian military aircraft, illustrated here. Hopefully, as more aircraft are recovered from their crash sites in the bush and restored, traded or brought back from private owners, they too will be added to the record. The book lists the aircraft alphabetically by manufacturer, number and type. This list is also appended with a brief summary of the aircraft presently on display within the nation and a bit of its history within the Canadian Forces.
Canadian Warbirds books are available through the iUniverse.com or the Amazon.com online bookstores.

ENDNOTES

This book is dedicated to my father, retired RCAF and CF Warrant Officer Aage C. Skaarup. In 1994, at the age of 70, he built his own Ultralite aircraft and then learned to fly. Now in his 80s, he is still up there flying when he isn’t repairing or painting a mural on his barn, which he uses as a hangar on his farm at Charleston near Lakeville, New Brunswick.

Canadian Warbirds

There are a number of us who have a continuing interest in old warbirds that Canadians have flown. Canada has done a very great job in preserving some of them, although many are still being sought. Unfortunately, in a number of cases no examples exist anymore. As an aviation historian, artist, photographer and enthusiast, I have attempted to keep track of where the remaining Canadian Warbird Survivors are presently located. The purpose of the first handbook in this series, Canadian Warbird Survivors 2000, was to provide a simple checklist of where the surviving aircraft were at that time, and to illustrate the book with a few of my paintings and photographs. This update is meant to include more details on each of the individual aircraft flown by the CF and its precursors, including serial numbers where possible, and to illustrate some of the background stories to the aircraft and the squadrons they were flown in, along with a few photographs provided by the CF Archives. The handbook is also meant to be used as an auxiliary to the Canadian Warbirds series of books, which is currently available from Barnes & Noble Bookstores and the iUniverse.com online bookstore.

Aircraft that are missing from the list of those that are preserved following their service with the CF continue to be searched for by many other dedicated aviation enthusiasts. In a number of cases, these special relics of our history are being recovered from their crash sites in the bush. They are also being traded for, or brought back to Canada by owners who have been flying them in other countries. In a few wonderful cases, some of our most historic warbirds are actually being re-manufactured from scratch (the Vickers Vedette in the Western Canadian Aviation Museum, and the Sopwith Triplane with the Calgary Aerospace Museum, are prime examples).

Unfortunately, there are still an incredible number of warbirds from Canada’s aviation heritage for which no single example exists in Canada, and a good number for which no example exists anywhere in the world. One of the uses of this book is to identify where one can at least view an example of most of the types that still exist, even if they aren’t to be found in Canada.

This handbook lists the aircraft deemed important to Canada’s military aviation history alphabetically by manufacturer, number and type. The list also includes a number of former military aircraft that have been significant to Canada in such roles as aerial survey, fire-fighting and search & rescue work, as well as some of the known locations for these aircraft in the aviation museums and private collections in Canada and other nations.

It is my sincere hope that the list of Canadian Warbird Survivors will continue to grow as more of them are recovered and restored. Grant that you find the handbook useful. Cheers, Hal Skaarup

Foreword

North America is resplendent in aviation history, both military and civilian. The sheer size of our nations influenced our dependence on air travel. It is no wonder that Canada and the United States developed as air-faring nations. A large part of the leadership that contributed to that development can be traced to our Air Forces. Indeed, our proud military heritage is embodied in the individuals who have served and continue to do so—and in the aircraft they have flown.

The preservation of the aircraft that contributed to this heritage is a labour of love for many. For those who are enthusiasts of military aviation history, those with a passing interest, or those who simply wish to learn more, you will find a wealth of information in these well-researched pages.

Introduction

On Friday the 17th of June 1988, four skydivers (Peter Landry, Bruce Montgomery, Don Cook and I) supported by an experienced Drop Zone Controller (Scott Fuller) jumped into the opening of the Canada Aviation Museum (CAM), formerly named the National Aviation Museum now located at Rockcliffe, in the city of Ottawa, Ontario. Pete was the first to land and therefore won the honour of handing Governor General Jeanne Sauve the ribbon-cutting scissors needed to open the $17.1 million Museum. She asked him if he could, tell me young man, who was really carrying the scissors? To this Peter replied, Ma’am, that is a trade secret. The four of us had parachuted into the opening ceremonies after a skydive from a Cessna-182 from 10,000’. Later, as guests of the Museum, we were permitted to tour the brand new delta-shaped main Museum building, which had been designed to look like the interior of an aircraft hangar.

The Canada Aviation Museum facility presently houses more that 110 aircraft in what can safely be regarded as one of the top historical aircraft collections in the world. Governor General Sauve indicated in her speech, the Museum displays humanities accomplishments, powers of invention and the diligence so essential in aeronautical engineering.

It was my privilege to have been there at the CAM and to have been one of a number of participants in the opening ceremonies, but it was not my first visit to the Museum. I have been around and studied about aircraft most of my life, with my first flight being in a Canadair Yukon coming back to Canada from Europe as a dependent member of my RCAF father’s family in 1963. We had been based at No. 3 (F) Wing, in Zweibrucken, Germany with Canada’s NATO forces. My first visit to the CAM came about shortly after I had been flown to Ottawa from Halifax, Nova Scotia on one of the original Canadian Forces white-knuckle air Boeing 707s as a militiaman posted to CFB Rockcliffe in the summer of 1972. It is one thing to see historical aircraft in pictures, but being a true aviation enthusiast as I was at that time, it was a truly memorable experience to see and touch a number of them for real. I will never forget the first moment that I put out my hands and touched the fuselage, wings and giant four-bladed propeller of the CAM’s Rolls-Royce powered North American Mustang Mk. IV (a P-51D for those of you from nonCommonwealth nations). At that time, this historic fighter plane stood on display on the floor of one of the old RCAF hangars, alongside the runway at Rockcliffe.

The old hangars at Rockcliffe have long since been demolished, and were handsomely replaced by the modern CAM structure. I would later have the opportunity to visit the museum often over the years, particularly during stopovers in Ottawa while serving as a member of the Canadian Forces Parachute Team, the Skyhawks. We often flew in on our main jump ship, an old DC-3 Dakota operated by 402 Air Reserve Squadron from Winnipeg. We also jumped from Twin Otter transports, as well as Twin Huey and Chinook helicopters flying out of Edmonton, Single Otters flown by the Air Reserve units operating out of Toronto and Montreal and from a number of other aircraft along the way. Each team member had the wonderful opportunity to represent our nation and the CF by participating in airshows and putting on parachute demonstration jumps in numerous cities and towns scattered across Canada and in some parts of the United States. During these airshows, I never missed an opportunity to ask for permission to climb into the cockpit of the old WWII Warbirds, such as the Mustang and Firefly (and there are still many Mustangs around).

Based on my flight experiences to date, I have come to conclude that you should never land in an airplane if you do not want to die in one. My basic observation has been that I have two parachutes and you have only one airplane with a very large number of parts that sometimes wear out when it is the least convenient (at least from my experience as a passenger) for them to do so. In spite of this observation, I have never lost my fascination for the older warbirds. Because of this, I have researched the locations where they can be found and attempted to track down as many of them as possible in Canada so that I could have a look at them. Whenever and wherever I have found them, I have photographed them, and later painted pictures of a number of them in recent years. One thing that I found difficult to get hold of during these searches, however, was a simple handbook that was easy to use and up to date, telling a person where you could find these warbirds and gate guards. At the very least, I thought that there should be way to contact the Museums that had the survivors on display, so that a person could go and view them firsthand. This handbook is my attempt to help fill that need. Since the first edition came up, the response has been positive enough for me to build this update and add in the new museums and aircraft that were missing in the first report. Fresh information on newly recovered warbirds for Canada is always welcome. I therefore look forward to hearing from other aviation enthusiasts like yourself, and if there are any bits and pieces of data you would like to see included in the next update, please let me know. I sincerely hope you find this handbook useful, and look forward to seeing more of our vanished warbirds reappearing as they are re-discovered, restored and put on display. Cheers, Hal Skaarup.

Ed and Rose Zalesky acquired a package of wrecked German WWII Warbird parts from a Russian émigré. The package included three fuselages, four sets of wings and fours sets of landing gear for Messerschmitt Bf 109s that had crashed and been salvaged in Russia. This collection of parts was sold to a buyer in Australia, where they are being used to restore at least one of the Messerschmitts. Mr Zalesky also acquired a North American Yale trainer, which was sold to an American in Phoenix. Currently, he has the remnants of three sets of Hurricane center sections, two engines and one set of wings (not a pair), two prop hubs and various pieces such as engine cowlings that belong to these Hurricanes, all of which were recovered from Russia. (This collection is available as a set only). For more information, Mr Zalesky can be contacted at [e-mail], or on the web at www.airplane-supply.com.
