The ac in question was built by taking the back end of a damaged finnish c model Hornet and mating it with the front end of a damaged canadian b or d model. So they turned a single seater into a two seater and where very happy. The job took a couple of years and was finnsihed last september. Everybody involved in the project(Finnish air force, Patria and Boeing) reported it as a great success.
Must have been a B model. The Canadians don't have any Cs.
