What Canadian Corsairs?
Neither, the RCAF or the RCN flew the Corsair. Canadian pilots flew the Corsair in Fleet Air Arm Service. Hammy Gray won a VC in a Corsair, and Don Sheppard was the only FAA Corsair ace.
If you mean warbirds, the Canadian Warplane Heritage Corsair (C-GCWX) was sold and is now under restoration with Airpower Unlimited for a WIXer in Washington. Blaine Fowler's F4U-7 (C-GWFU) is in the Virginia area. Vintage Wings of Canada has a nice new Corsair (C-GVWC) that looks stunning in its new Hammy Gray scheme. VWC had a F4U-4 for a short time, but it was never on the Canadian civil register, retaining its U.S. registration for its stay in Canada.
That is it...Corsair: The Canadian Story
