It's still cool though. They all are.  |

Country: | Hey, thanks a bunch CC! But upon closer inspection of my old plane folder, I discovered that I already had it after all.
I'm a little curious about the markings though. Those are from between 1965 and 1968 (new Canadian flag and roundel style, yet still says RCAF on the aircraft), but Libs were retired from the RCAF in 1948. The last squadron to use them that I'm aware of was 412 Sqn, who used them briefly as transports. Interesting.  |
