Bristol Bolingbroke Mark IV, RCAF (Serial No. TBC). On 23 October 2013, this aircraft was lifted from its 60-year-old resting place in the prairie sod near Macdonald, Manitoba, and brought to 17 Wing Winnipeg, where it will be overhauled. The Bolingbroke was originally purchased in 1946 by George Morris for $150. It was surplus from the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan’s RCAF Station Macdonald. The aircraft was towed from the rear wheel by a grain truck to the Morris family farm just a few miles away. It was recently donated to 17 Wing by Mr. Morris’ grandsons: David, Ian, Stephen and Sean.

This aviation handbook is designed to be used as a quick reference to the classic military heritage aircraft that have been flown by members of the Canadian Air Force, Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army and the Canadian Forces. The interested reader will find useful information and a few technical details on most of the military aircraft that have been in service with active Canadian squadrons both at home and overseas. 100 selected photographs have been included to illustrate a few of the major examples in addition to the serial numbers assigned to Canadian service aircraft. For those who like to actually see the aircraft concerned, aviation museum locations, addresses and contact phone numbers have been included, along with a list of aircraft held in each museum's current inventory or on display as gate guardians throughout Canada and overseas. The aircraft presented in this edition are listed alphabetically by manufacturer, number and type. Although many of Canada's heritage warplanes have completely disappeared, a few have been carefully collected, restored and preserved, and some have even been restored to flying condition. This guide-book should help you to find and view Canada's Warplane survivors.
