Wow! Unfortunately, no. The Canadair Tudor was the primary dual place
jet trainer for the RCAF/CAF. It has been replaced by the British Hawk jet
trainer. The Snowbirds, the air force aerobatic air demonstration team
still fly the Tudor in a 9 plane formation. They often visit airshows in
the USA. Have a look at the Comox site for a pic. I bet they wish they had
your Tudor on display. Never seen one of these! You could also do a search
for the "Snowbirds Air Demonstration Team".

You over-looked my ;^), Ed. I was pointing out that the CT-114 was the
"Tutor", not the "Tudor" -- one a/c is a named for a type of teacher,
the other, for a bunch of Welsh thugs (Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward
VI, Bloody Mary and Elizabeth) who sat on the throne of England after
the Wars of the Roses.

BTW, Avro also built a "Tutor" as a replacement for their 504K during
the 1930s.
