Seeing what my Dad saw.........

I just came across this picture. According to the caption, it flew from the CVE Fanshaw Bay (CVE-70) during the time my Dad served aboard her. It is a very odd feeling knowing that I am probably seeing a plane that my Dad saw so many years ago. He idolized the pilots of the TMBs and FM-2s.
