    1967

    To Canada Aviation and Space Museum, Rockcliffe, Ottawa, ON.
    This Volksjger was assembled by Heinkel Flugzeugwerke GmbH at the Heinkel-Nord plant in Rostock-Marienehe, Germany, probably in late February or March 1945. The aircraft was captured from the Luftwaffe at Leck on May 8, 1945. Shipped to the United Kingdom in June of the same year, it was exhibited as a war trophy in Hyde Park, London during September. Stored in the United Kingdom until the following spring, it was shipped to Canada in September 1946 and, in the RCAFs possession, likely stored. It was transferred to the Canadian War Museum in 1964 and to this Museum by 1967.
