Hi,
They are great pictures. The only way they would be better is if you had a Halifax or a Lancaster beside your truck.
Cheers,

There is! Zoom in on my T-shirt.
By-the-by, is the C.W.H. Museum Lanc still flying? I saw it once at the Abbotsford International airshow along with the Hurricane and they were about the most magnificent sight on the planet. There was a little old woman sitting next to me at the airshow. I happened to glance at her as they flew by and noticed she had tears streaming down her cheek. I smiled at her and she smiled back and told me that she had worked on Hurricanes during the war. Seeing one flying again brought back many good memories for her.
It was cool this weekend in the morning so I started off the day wearing my C.F. issued anti-FOD coveralls. The pilot of the B25 recognized my insignia and came up to me and introduced himself. Small world...he was a ret'd C.F. captain and a Flight Surgeon. He was posted to both Trenton and Goose Bay back in the sixties and had stick time on the old Yukon. Smaller world...He and I had attended the same Elementary school in West Vancouver, albeit at different times! great guy with lots of stories and about the best job on the planet!
CHIMO!
