Canadair CL-13 (F-86E) Sabre F.4: Diverted to RAF before RCAF serial 19819 marked, became XB956. Delivered to the RAF (taken on charge) 30 September 1953. Re-serialled XB932 after delivery. (XB956 "the second" was ex-RCAF 19843 c/no.743). Operated by No. 130 Squadron at Bruggen, Germany.
Written off (damaged beyond repair) 17 July 1955: The pilot applied power too late after his approach speed to RAF Brüggen, Elmpt, North Rhine-Westphalia, West Germany was too slow. The starboard wing struck the undershoot area as the engine revs picked up. This carried the aircraft along the runway until the pilot was able to shut off the fuel. Pilot survived.
