Another crazy low pass by Ormand Haydon Baillie in his Black Knight T-33 Silver Star.The spectacular paint
scheme is based on an RCAF design for 414 Black Knight Squadron that flew the type. Vintage Wings of Canada is
proud to have been part of 414's history. The squadron was disbanded in the 1990s. However, in December of
2007, approval was received for the squadron to stand up once more, this time as 414 EWS (Electronic Warfare
Support) Squadron. Belonging to 3 Wing Bagotville, the squadron is based in Ottawa and is composed of military
Electronic Warfare Officers who fulfill the combat support role, flying on civilian contracted aircraft. The
squadron was re-formed at the Vintage Wings hangar at the Gatineau Airport on 20 January 2009 to operate the
Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet provided by Top Aces Consulting.
Haydon-Baillie died in Germany in a P-51 Mustang on July 3, 1977.
