In the back of a Canadian Armed Forces (they had stopped being RCAF ) Britannia (or whatever they called it, CC-106 Yukon maybe?) crossing the Atlantic on my way to Portage-la- Prairie near Winnipeg from LGW to do a quick familiarisation course on the CL41 Tutor, prior to joining a foreign air force on loan service to teach them to fly it! We night stopped in Toronto, I think it was, and I watched the actual landing on TV in the officers' mess there.
