Sure as hell not by me. The discussion was around governments not ponying up their fair share, or worse, in my estimation, not providing already promised funds or materiel. My point was to show that Canada may not currently live up to its organization obligations, but the invitation to take in...

No argument from me. That wasn't my point.

Somethng that often forgotten when about countries, Canada included, not paying their dues to NATO. Since March of 2022, Canada has taken in almost a quarter of a million Ukrainian refugees. The only country with more Ukrainians (and this was true before the war) is Ukraine itself. All told...

Great to see a captured NA-64 'out of the box'. Nice, simple scheme for us old modellers!

An NA-57, of course, just like it says on the rudder. Ebay sellers are entertaining, if nothing else! A nice shot!

This is clearly unacceptable and i have sent a copy of the article to an opposition leader who will cetainly broach the subject in the House. When I make a promise, i keep it. I need to think that my government does the same.

Red Lake was actually known as the Norseman capital of the world.

Harvard Mk Is in the Rhodesian Air Force. One of the few air arms with no apparent standardized colour scheme!

Canada's first military aircraft was a Burgess-Dunne flying wing. https://www.canada.ca/en/air-force/services/aircraft/burgess-dunne.html

Okay. I admit I am old and easily confused, in this case by the following: "This aircraft was used for patrols out of RCAF Base, Bella Bella British Columbia.........The "Base" is now called Shearwater..." The last time i was at Shearwater, it was in Nova Scotia, several thousand kilometres east...

Cheers fubar57. I, for one, will take all the help I can get. It was devastating for me as a young would-be fighter pilot in 1961 to find out I was red-green colour blind. They handed me a Bren gun (loved it), a Heller antitank rocket launcher and, finally, an FN C1 (amazing weapon). Now, I have...

Just to complete your description, Wurger, I would point out that the very first production BC-1 carried the rounded rudder of the NA-26 prototype (and the BT-9s before that), and all further production had the flat bottomed rudder used on the Harvard I, NA-44 and NA-50.

A flight of North American NA-36s, known as BC-1 (Basic Combat design 1), These are, with the exception of British authorized equipment, identical to the NA-49, or Harvard Mk I

Hey, much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time! I'll get to it in a day or so. (This is my weekend for mudding my drywall ceilings).

Once again, the seller doesn't know his aircraft. Great shots, but it's an NA-57.
