I visited an ex-79 Squadron chappie - here's a squadron portrait with something familiar in the background..

Hanno...That picture shows the first CMP proto type.. which ended up in a hippy community on Salt Spring Island ,BC the remains of which was rescued and is in the Canadian War Museum..or at least it was..
So the story goes..
It is the third from the left in the photo..The long nose conventional cab was not in keeping with the ability to knock down and reassembly and ship in tight quarters in war time conditions ..

From the same source. Looks like a burnt out Stuka.
