My father's logbook says he was assigned to RCAF 427 'Lion' Sqn, based in Zweibrucken, West Germany in 1955. The first Sabre he flew with the squadron was a Mk.V 23199 on Jan 20.
Also building another Sabre, as the first one he flew after being posted to 1(F) OTU Chatham to learn to fly the Sabre.

Nice start.
Don't forget to remove the box at the base of the dorsal fin and the scoop on the starboard side (close to the airbrake)
