This Halifax bomber is in fact the only complete example still in existence. The Mk. A.VII variant is a special operations version of the Halifax. It was modified to carry and drop special agents behind enemy lines, and was capable to tow a glider plane.
In the early morning of 24 April 1945, this Halifax crashed into lake Mjosa, Norway, killing five of the six aircrew on board. In 1991, it was found in the lake at a depth of 750 feet. It was eventually raised and brought to Canada to restore it.
