CL-13 Sabre/RCAF 23029
Warbird Registry Profile
I know the following information on this aircraft:
Built by Canadair, 19??.
Delivered to Royal Canadian Air Force as 23029.
- BOC: December 21, 1953.
- SOC: June 28, 1957.
- Allocated to No. 422 (F) Squadron.
Delivered to Luftwaffe as BB-112.
- BOC: N/A.
- SOC: January 18, 1960.
Dornier, Germany, December 2, 1962.
Now obviously the picture is newer than 1962. The contributor identified it as 23029 but I don't know if that is accurate or not. There are some discrepancies in the research as to the fate of 23029 and whether it went to the Luftwaffe as BB-112 (later JB-112) or some other number.
Now it's the WIXMind's turn. Does anybody know if this picture is actually 23039 or is it some other Sabre? Any history on this airframe would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

It's c/n 819 (Sabre 5) undergoing restoration at Erding 2005-2006 timescale. Ex-RCAF 23029. Your history is missing a bit prior to Erding:
