Default And more.... - Sabre Canopy....

This may seem like a stupid question....but since I'm unfamiliar with the
type and it was way before my time... maybe someone can answer this. The
Sabre they have on display appears to have a smoked glass canopy. Is this
representative of the type? Is this something unique to the Canadian
version? Pictures I've seen of this aircraft show a regular transparent
canopy.

Take care,

Nick

No the smoked glass was not used at the time as far as I know.


Thanks for the reply! I wonder why it is that this particular bird has this
sort of canopy and what the story is behind it. Perhaps someone on here
knows....

Take care,

Nick
