Its not widely known, but the Canadair Sabre served with the Royal Air Force for a brief time. During the early 1950s, the sabres of the RCAF were actually the only swept wing fighters available for the defence of Western Europe. At that time, the Royal Air Force was still flying such straight-winged types as the Gloster Meteor and the deHavilland Vampire while they waited for the swept-wing Supermarine Swift and Hawker Hunter to reach production status.
