Narrative:
Canadair CL-13 (F-86E) Sabre F.4: Diverted to RAF before RCAF serial 19794 marked, became XD773 in RAF service. As the aircraft was also funded by US Government MDAP (Military Development Aid Program) funds, the USAF serial 52-10228 was assigned, but there is no record it was ever marked on the airframe. First flight on 15 July 1953. Delivered to the RAF (taken on charge) 20 September 1953. Operated by No. 66 Squadron at Linton-on-Ouse, coded "C".

Written off (destroyed) 13 May 1954: Engine failed while on approach to Linton-on-Ouse, Yorkshire due to main fuel regulator failure. The pilot made a forced landing in the undershoot area
