Default Picton (Ontario) Airport

Hi there

Any Ontario-based readers ever been to the Picton airport?

We were down in Prince Edward County over the weekend, and I just happened upon it.

No.32 Bombing and Gunner School was located there during World War Two and it looks like they removed the aircraft, sent the men home and just left the rest!

It looks like all the buildings are still there: hangars, H-huts, dormitories, the guard room you name it.

It'a all plastered with NO Trespassing" and 'Great Investment Opportunity" signs but it just looks, well, abandoned.

Anybody know why it wasn't torn or burned down like all the other BCATP airfields?

Steve

PS I've got some photos coming eventually.
