Canada’s Fixed Wing Search and Rescue Aircraft Replacement (FWSAR) project took an important step forward as the Aircraft Maintenance Trainer (AMT) departed Seville, Spain, to travel to Canada.
This specific aircraft — a training variant of the CC-295 — is being flown by an Airbus Defence and Space flight crew as it makes its way to its new home in the soon-to-be search and rescue (SAR) training centre at 19 Wing, Comox, B.C.

Le projet de remplacement d’aéronefs de recherche et de sauvetage à voilure fixe du Canada a franchi une étape importante : l’aéronef de formation sur l’entretien a quitté Séville, en Espagne, afin de se rendre au Canada.
Aux commandes de cet appareil, une variante du CC-295 conçue pour la formation, se trouve un équipage d’Airbus Defence and Space chargé de piloter l’avion jusqu’à son nouveau domicile, à savoir le nouveau centre de formation en recherche et en sauvetage qui verra bientôt le jour à la 19e Escadre Comox, en Colombie-Britannique.

Dear Friend,
The RAF Benevolent Fund has today launched a major new campaign in its centenary year. We are urging the public to help us repay the debt we all owe to our RAF veterans and their families who are in need of help. In particular, we need to reach out to the National Service and World War Two veterans, before it's too late. They put on the uniform of our country when we needed them to, the least we can do is be there for them when they themselves need our help.
