I didn't realize there were only 2600 of the B12s built from 45 to 51. That makes those machines quite rare and therefore very valuable. Does anyone know how many built in 52?

  Walrus you can email the info on your ID tag to the crowd in Valcourt, Que. They can give you all kinds of info about your bomber. I have a funny feeling that that bomber belongs in Cranberry Portage, MB. I've seen a couple videos of that machine.

That bomber belongs to a new friend of mine. Dennis Evans from Regina.  I haven't met him, but had a nice chat on the phone one day.  Maybe if Cranberry Portage resumes their bombardier rally, maybe well meet one day.

I did that and the curator of the museum got back to me with some info on who owned it originally and who sold it and where. I guess I should email them again and ask how many were sold in 1952.
