Edenvale Ontario Airshow 13 Aug 2017
 

Report from Edenvale airport... located in rural Ontario countryside. (South of Wasaga Beach on Georgian Bay.)

RCAF training base during WW2. No.1 SFTS was a detachment of Camp Borden, and part of BCATP.

Has an Annual FlyIn with classic aircraft and automobiles. Plus a fine display of local Military vehicles.

The visiting WW2 training aircraft included a Canadian style Tiger Moth, a Cornell that honours the brave Norwegian airmen..and one of the very few Fleet Finches in accurate wartime configuration with the enclosed canopy.

An active and thriving airfield today. Home to a group that maintains its wartime RCAF heritage.

The Army Types arrived early and set up a nice assortment.

S. Marshall polished his Brit. machine and Gary Cailes arrived shortly
after in his C60 wrecker.

Chad Marshall displayed his very nice dispatch riders bike.

Very interesting to talk to Chad. He's way above me in things British.
Apparently the turret has been repurposed off of other armour.

Would appreciate hearing the back-story on that turret.

Dennis,

here is the back story for you

Thanks Robin,
From your information it would seem the turret was taken from the Fox armoured car. A bit of ungainly kit it would seem.
You would think the Fox turret fitted to the Scorpion hull would be a good combination...but apparently not. I wonder why.

Dennis.

A nice M38A1 and a Mk II* carrier was also on display.

The carrier was well turned out. Chad mentioned it was carefully based on...and in honour of a family friend...a veteran of the N.W.E. Campaign. Nice to see someone cares enough to do that.
