In 1982, Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum member, Don McNall, purchased this Beechcraft T-34 Mentor, s/n BG354, and had it painted in authentic RCAF colours. Although not a CWH aircraft, the T-34 operated on behalf of the foundation for several years until McNall sold the aircraft to Glenn Goldman. |

The Royal Canadian Air Force purchased 25 Mentors in order to meet the needs of the NATO Air Training Plan. The aircraft were used in a trial at No. 4 Flying Training School at Penhold, Alberta. The aircraft was not selected and only flew from 19 July 1954 to 10 February 1955. One aircraft was lost in a training accident. One was given to Chile and the rest were donated to Greece and Turkey under NATO's Mutual Aid Program. |
