Is the yellow machine with my thumb print in the shot the same model as the one earlier in the thread?

Cheers,

Certainly sounds like a to-do visit. Another one for vintage aircraft fans is the museum at CFB Trenton here in Ontario. There are some rather weathered aircraft outside (but you can get right up close to them) and of course there is their spectacularly restored Halifax bomber.

I'm betting that yellow birds is a Harvard instead of a Yale based on the large intake scoop on the left front. The big giveaway (you can't see in your pic) is that Yales have fixed undercarriages and Harvards retract.

Yes, The Yales and the Harvards are very similar looking. And yes the easiest way to tell them apart is that the Yale has fixed landing gear.
Looking more closely, the Yales have a somewhat crude square carb air intake on the top of the engine cowing whereas the Harvard's have a more refined version on the side.
