NOTE:
some sources report c/n of this aircraft as 1205, but RCAF records and

NOTE: The previous identity of this second hand
aircraft is not completely clear. RCAF
records identify it as c/n 1206, but that c/n was exported new to the
UK before the war, impressed as RAF R8987, and destroyed in a crash in
the UK in 1942. RCAF records also identify
the previous registration as NC13318, although this was actually a
Boeing 247D that became RCAF 7638. The
book "Air Arsenal North America" by Phillip Butler identifies this
aircraft as c/n 1222, and RCAF 7837 as c/n 1205. I
suspect this one is actually c/n 1205 but would welcome confirmation. C/n 1205 was formerly NC16079, registered to
the Continental Oil Company in 1936. Purchased
second hand in the US, through the Charles Babb company.
Temporary registration CF-BRV assigned for ferry flight to
Canada. With the Central Flying School at
