At an event i was volunteering for today i was talking to the guy who was going to be selling all these aircrat/car/truck/etc imagery for very very cheap. I wanted (during the time i was volunteering doing parking) to pick up a couple that i had been looking at But i only got a chance about half an hour before the even finished.

This images shows the CASA Azor In quite a nice paintjob..My question (i could be wrong in my guessing, and i aplogize that this is not about a warbird but anyways, was this an RCAF paintjob or was this a trans canada airlines or is it neither

You can make out the Spanish Fascist cross on the rudder, and the Spanish Air Force style numerals and edge of the roundel on the fuselage - so I'd guess it's a coincidental arrangement of the 'flash' similar to the famous RCAF version. Interesting!
