Grumman Albatross (strictly speaking, a CSR-110) The Canadian version of the Albatross was different from that used by most other operators, having more powerful engines.

Lockheed Neptune in the early scheme of overall gloss Sea Blue with high visibility markings on the wingtips and tail. The fuselage 'RCAF' marking replaced squadron coding in early 1958, so this picture was probably taken later that year.

Sikorsky H-34

Two of the 1956 Sky Lancer aerobatic team Sabre Mk.6's. There were several Skylancer liveries over the life of the team. Additional info from long-time member Jim Craik: The first 240 Sabre Mk.6's were fitted with the hard edge '6-3' wing, and later refitted with the slatted '6-3' wing.

A 4 Wing T-Bird parked under cover.
