I have a Firefly Vc in the mail, and so far I haven't had any luck finding articles or pics of them in Canadian service. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
John

Here's two more. They're both from the Italian campaign, but it might help with the markings and other info.

I second all the above recommendations, as I have three Fireflies in the project pipeline myself. If you've checked out the Firefly homepage by Mark Hayward, you know he has written a book on the subject. I am awaiting mine with great anticipation; Russell at Barbarossa Books tells me it shipped from the UK about five weeks ago and should be here any day now. Once I have it in my grubby little paws I'll let you know how it looks.
