I would like to know why it went to Canada.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

Large numbers of so called War Prizes were distributed to all corners of the "Empire". Reason was probably to show many of them to the public while the more exotic types were used for testing etc.

Why Canada received at least two Me 262 was probably only for a show off.
None was made airworthy and tested as far as I know.

Re # 1694-Another image of this a/c in War Prizes, pg 103, before RAF markings. Reported as W.Nr. 190327, 1H+GT, Ju 188 A-2, although it appears most, if not all, Ju 188s in this sequence were A-3s. This would make sense, as it ended up at Gosport supposedly for torpedo dropping trials.
