We had one at Halton for a while. A winch launch took it to about 800ft agl from where it was just possible to do a wide 360 then land.
When they were retired from the CCF, long after I had left 613, my Sqdn Cdr heard there were some stored at Halton so we asked if we could have one as an instructional airframe at the squadron. HQAC were only too willing to oblige and it stayed in my squadron HQ for several years gathering dust until another squadron offered to take it off our hands.
