Hi all--

3445 is this bird's original RCAF serial; she was acquired at the famous Simmons collection auction in 1970 and restored for/by Bob Ratcliffe. Flown as C-GAPE circa 1985, she was the first Yale on the Canadian civil register (two or three had flown civilly in the States by then though). I have only seen 3445 twice at events in Ontario--once at a Trenton show many years ago, and again in 2000 at the Dunnville airport grand-reopening celebration fly-in.
