Hi Peter, a typo, sorry I got you all excited. I was refering to SL721, the Mk XVI in Ottawa. Hopefully in the near future we will see a MkIX, TE294, (hope this ones right!) on the register when Comox finish theirs. I was more interested in the jets on the register as these have been basically forbiden in Canada for quite some time with the exception of the T-33's owned by the National Research Council (fed govt) and Air Spray's F-86 which is hired out to do military contracts.

All serial numbers and types aside, the changes in the Regs is long over due and is good news for all and will hopefully be boast to the restoration and preservation movement in Canada.
