03/31/2008. This replica is a hybrid of salvaged Mk.V parts of the construction numbers CV 91 (ex G-CASW), CV 147 (ex CF-MAG) and a third. Fitted with a 300 hp Wright J-6-9 Whirlwind nine-cylinder air-cooled radial engine, the replica is marked CF-MAG. It has been constructed over twenty-two years by a team of volunteers of the museum, and it was unveiled on May 24, 2002. Although flyable (not certificated), the museum has no intention to fly the replica. |
