This isn't a what if... Canada flew these. Go to the Canadian Aviation museum website for more information.

Well, got me on that one, i assumed it was a whif because the builder said it wasn't the type they operated... :unsure:

Well actually they didn't operate that particular variant ---- that is an F2H-2, the RCN operated F2H-3's. The difference is in the fuselage length.

Interesting little snippet of info, the RCN didn't buy Banshees until after the production line was shut down, they bought second-hand USN aircraft

Thanks for the clarification, that means it fits in the category of "subtle whifs"... ;D  :thumbsup:
