Doug MacPhail was also kind enough to send me this picture of NA-64 3383 when she entered service with the RCAF. Thank you again Doug.

You're more than welcome, Patrick. I'm still looking (in vain, to date) for a shot of 3456.

cheers

Hello Steve,

Thank you for showing interest in the Yale projects. NA-64 3456 and 3383 are both making progress. The forward fuselage of 3456 is nearing completion with the tail section in the fixture for restoration. Because of the time it takes to up-load pictures on here and the web site I have been keeping the updates on the Legend Of Aces Aviation Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/Legendofacesaviation.

Good afternoon.
Nice to see the photos of your Yale Restoration.
We are restoring Yale Serial N° 64-2214, RCAF N° 3450 here in France, at the airfield where it should have been delivered in 1940.
We have a second aircraft, Serial N° 64-2161, RCAF N° 3397 ( ? ) that we are using as a source of some parts, but we are still some missing.For example, a throttle quandrant - with French markings.
Any ideas where we could purchase one, please ?

Can't help a whole lot with the throttle quadrant, but 64-2161 is RCAF 3396.
RCAF 3397 (64-2150) is on display at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tuscon, Arizona.
