RCN 1573 arrived safely at the BC Aviation
Museum July 5, 2021. The Tracker can now be put on display for the
visitors of the museum.
DDJ 7-8-2021
RCN 1573 has been moved from
its location in the parking lot of the University of the Fraser Valley in
Chilliwack, BC. (See the report below in 2020 Current Events.) As of
this date, it has been moved to a secure location near the banks of the Fraser
River while the British
Columbia Aviation Museum, now the owner of the Tracker, waits for the river to
rise with the spring thaw. When the water is high enough, the Museum plans
to load the Tracker onto a barge. It will then be moved down the Fraser
River and across the Strait of Georgia to the museum located in Victoria on
Vancouver Island. It should be at the museum this summer. Thank you
to Paul Thompson and David Martin Jackson, President of the BC Aviation Museum,
for providing the update. DDJ 3-11-2021.
The Tracker is now located at 45070 Caen
Ave. Chilliwack BC. Thank you to Kaz Sjoblom for providing this
information. DDJ 10-28-2020.
This museum closed in 2015 when
the museum was forced out of the building it was in. It was in the
building for no or minimal rent. The owners of the building found
new tenants that would pay full price. Apparently, the Tracker and
all the other artifacts that were in the Museum are in storage barns and
houses in the area. It is unknown the location of the Tracker.
DDJ 11-19-2019.
This was moved from Conair on
January 6, 2010. When moved it had no engines, propellers or nose
wheel assembly as they had been previously been removed for use by
Conair. The Museum will be working on obtaining these parts as
part of the The Tracker will be on display at the museum starting in the
summer of 2010.

Last registration was C-FUDH. Andrew Semon has provided
information early in 2012 that this Tracker is no longer a static
aircraft but being prepared for flying demonstrations. It was a former
training aircraft and looking it over at the 2011 CWH airshow it looks to be in
excellent condition. It still has the radome and MAD boom
installed.

The Toronto Aerospace Museum has closed to the public in 2011. The organization now
