2008 Museums: Vintage Wings of Canada
CYND: N45 31 17 W75 33 51
Once again this year, I responded to the invitation
of Mr. Potter's team in September and attended his well run
Vintage Wings of Canada Open House Day.
Again, a well attended day and a nice extra this year: Hamilton's
own Canadian Warplane
Heritage Museum aircrafts joined the event to practice for the next
day's Battle of Britain Fly-past at the National
Aviation Museum ! Aircraft from the
Russell Aviation Group
were also attending as well as some from the
Canadian Harvard Aerobatic
Team . A rare sight indeed, as you will be able to
see below...
