Dave,
That's CF-GME a 1941 Mk IIB Harvard. Seen just to the north of Langley airport.

Dave…(and other forum members)….

A blatant plug for the little volunteer-run aviation museum that you visited in Langley.

That red-nosed biplane you took pictures of… had just landed back only a few days earlier…...thanks to an RCAF Globe Master II…

from the Vimy celebrations over in France…

Hand built in their hanger over a period of many month's

Will pass-on your kind comments

Is that a 3/4 scale machine?

Bruce,
One of the volunteers told me it was 7/8. Another volunteer said no…it's full scale.

It's a fairly faithful replica…but using modern materials and construction methods.
In this case they went with a 115 hp Lycoming…flat four aircraft engine…in place of the original Rotary.

To remove any doubt of what scale it is...…here's a link to a brief video from the manufacturer..

The video says it takes the average pilot/builder about two years to get into the air…Which seems honest.

With the museum and the volunteer building team fully engaged in the project..…It took them about a year..
