or "Confederate Vampire" ...
"Milt Harradence flew with 403 City of Calgary Squadron, RCAF for a number of years. In 1960 Lynn Garrison, also a pilot with 403 Squadron, obtained the contract to ferry 75 P-51 Mustang aircraft, retired from RCAF service, to their new owners in New York City. Harradence and Garrison had a long-term relationship with the founders of the Confederate Air Force in Texas. Milt would trade his Mustang for a DeHavilland Vampire jet, obtained from New York by Garrison. This would be traded for Garrison's Canadair F-86 which Harradence flew as CF-AMH, for a short time, before retiring from the aviation game in 1967." ... Garry Caveny

I wonder if the Vampire was actually property of the CAF or just one of the members? A guy could write a small book on the aircraft that have passed through CAF hands. A couple P-38s three or four PBYs, several Buchons, Seafire, Mosquito, Sea Fury, Spitfire and so many more.
