If this truly was an RCAF Mentor, then it was one of 25 built under
licence by Canadian Car and Foundry. The RCAF found they offered no

I suspect it is half-dressed as a Can Car Mentor for the owner's ****s and
giggles. Well, it's his aircraft and he can paint it anyway he wants, but I
would prefer to see it in a scheme more reflective of the aircraft's history.
