As some of you may or may not know, Bill Gregg also collected aircraft. Including a Yale or two from the auction.

Yale 3350 is now at the Canadian Warplane Heritage museum at Hamilton Ontario.

Many years ago I was employed by the War Museum to take a look at this haftrack during its restoration to see how well it was going. The person restoring it was needing more money and they wanted to just make sure it was almost complete. Very rear !

They came from a co-worker's family album. I'm pretty certain that's him in the black shorts in the top left pic (50 odd years hasn't changed him a bit).

Here's the last of the set. I'm a little disappointed there aren't any with vehicles in them.

Default Royal Canadian Musuem of Flight - Langley.

Hello Bruce, we visited a fantastic display of aircraft and touchy feely displays on Canada 150 Day. Highly recommended that you place it on your bucket list if ever in BC Canada. The Bi-plane is from the museum and was flying around for the celebrations, the pilots just loved a chat. Is the yellow machine with my thumb print in the shot the same model as the one earlier in the thread?

Cheers,

Dave.
