Hi again--
Clearing up a couple minor mistakes I made in the previous posting (while working by memory)...
The last RCAF Harvard I was 1325, not 1331; 1331 did also get surplussed, at least on paper, being assigned to an RCAC squadron (Air Cadets) at Montreal, in 1945, but it does not seem to have been delivered...1325 was the one sent to the Brant-Norfolk Aero Club, this in '46 rather than '47, and it vanished soon after. Additionally there were about seven accidents involving RCAF Harvard Is, mostly in eastern Ontario. Maybe a data plate waits somewhere in the topsoil in a woodlot near Trenton...? Who knows!
