    Notes: CF-FAV is a Lockheed PV-1 Ventura which is registered to the Ventura Memorial Flight Association. It had been in the Alberta Aviation Museum in Edmonton undergoing restoration for a long time until it was removed from the museum as they needed the space. Recently it was transported to Red Deer and I found it beside Buffalo Airways hangar. Formerly RCAF 2195 the Ventura was registered as CF-FAV and it crashed NW of Yellowknife in 1953. It was recovered by Canadian Forces Chinook helicopter in 1988.
