Hi, I am floating an idea out to any fellow carrier nuts in the uk who might be interested in a trip to Canada, heading primarily to the Canadian war Museum in Ottawa, They have a few carriers there and Jason Ginn who works there no doubt will give us a private viewing. I am sure our Canadian carrier owner counterparts will perhaps assist us in our quest to make the most of the trip.
Having never been to Canada I find this an ideal reason to go. Would be great to go in the new year and perhaps do some other fun stuff along the way. Anyone interested as I dont want to take the missus!!. Kevin.

There is one (gutted hull on tracks) in front of Cartier Square Drill Hall in central Ottawa and another in similar shape at Connaught Ranges out in the west-end. Both have public access.
