YelloW M37's

[Jason Graveline]

I came across a yellow M37 earlier this year parked in a commercial lot not far from the Saskatoon airport. The truck was SK-plated and had RCAF decals applied to the doors over a series of black-stencilled numbers.

Until 1964, RCAF Station Saskatoon was the home of 406 Sqn, 1AFS and CFS. And after the flying units were disbanded and relocated, the airport remained an aircraft storage depot until the late 70s. Given the airfield yellow colour and RCAF decals, we assumed that this M37 might have served locally until it was sold out of service.
