Canadair CL-13 (F-86E) Sabre F.4: Diverted to RAF before RCAF 19536 serial marked, became XB633 in RAF service. First flight on 12 January 1953. Delivered 16 March 1953. Used by No. 3 Squadron in Germany, coded "W".
Crashed on 26 June 1955: During a formation take off from Eindhoven, Netherlands, the pilot retracted the undercarriage too early causing the aircraft to sink back and scrape the runway. He lowered the undercarriage but could not stop. The aircraft then ran into the bomb dump adjacent to the overshoot area and exploded. The pilot was thrown clear but was seriously injured. Jetwash from the leading aircraft may have been a factor in the accident
