Fairey Battle IT

This Battle was converted, in December 1942, to a turret-gunnery trainer at St. Jean, Quebec, with a Bristol turret used on the Canadian-made Bolingbroke. It was refurbished by the RCAF at Calgary in 1963, and transferred to the RCAF historical aircraft collection at Rockcliffe Airport in 1964.
