    NOTE: These aircraft were originally ordered by the RCAF, with the designation CX-84, and with RCAF 4 digit serial numbers. By the time they were actually built, the RCAF had been integrated into the Canadian Armed Forces, so the aircraft were delivered
    in CAF markings, but with the original RCAF serial numbers. The CAF designation CX-131 was later allocated, along with the appropriate CAF serial numbers (starting at 13101). However, the CAF serial numbers were never marked, and most contemporary
    sources refer to the aircraft as the CX-84. Hence the schizophrenic nature of this page.
