This aircraft is in authentic North African
RAF markings, where Texans were pressed into service against
the Germans. The nick name on the side of the cockpit is
not a wartime marking. It was the name of the former owner's
daughter, who was killed in a car accident.

The museum recently acquired this aircraft
from the USAF, which forced landed and will be restored
to flying condition by the CAF. Seen here are photographs
of the aircraft in storage. It had not yet arrived at the
museum when I visited.
