OK, heart will be eaten out when I see the airborne SEG!
On another note I've just seen this:
Quote:
As it stands right now, Calgary Aerospace is trying to convince City of Calgary to let them sell the mosquito to an annon collector in the UK for $1.5 Million dollars with $500.000 dollars going into the restoration of their Canadian built Hawker Hurricane. That is what has been put out over the media channels
I was informed that not only is the Mosquito bomber being sold, BUT the Hawker Hurricane is to go to the UK as well to be rebuilt to static display and then return to Canada!
The Hurricane was given a donation of $50.000 to restore the Hurricane to static display. Where did that money go as the Hurricane is now in storage and was never completed.
As most of you know when an aircraft is taken on as a restoration project, parts go missing or are discarded or swapped out for parts from other aircraft to make a static project. What will return to Canada will be a Hurricane Yes but nothing like what left as far as a complete and original aircraft is.
Another interesting note is that a current member of Aerospace museum is now a member of city council(a conflict of interest) and is withholding important information from the public. He also seems he is being brainwashed as one minute he is saying it will cost $15 Million to restore the mosquito and the next thing he is saying it is "rotting away"
