Fairey Firefly N62174 (ex WD 840)
This is a wierd one. Ex RAN Firefly WD840 was sold to Robert Diermert, Carman, Manitoba with new c/r CF-CBH. A Merlin 500 from an Avro York was installed. The cockpit was fitted with a bench seat for eight passengers. Painted in a civil paint scheme. It went through a number of owners subsequently, a history can be seen at 'https://www.aerialvisuals.ca/AirframeDossier.php?Serial=18506'.
