Default CFB Picton / Air base

A bit random but here goes.

A video appeared recently that shows so much if you look and watch, link here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWxzF5jSFmg

I am led to understand that the place has been sold.

An auction was held on site quite recently and tons of material including models and bicycles were sold and it all went for very little money, like really low.

There was virtually zero advertising of an auction locally so it would appear.

A T33 was sold for about $15,000 and deuce was allegedly sold also

Thats all I know, over to you folks for more input

Interesting video Robin. Thanks for posting.

Rob Love: I think I saw your fire truck going past at about 9:44.

Good eye Wayne, that is the same as mine.



If you go to the following facebook page, there is some photos of the lineup for the autcion including two aircraft, a T133 and a Muskateer. Go lower on the facebook page and there is a photo of the deuce. I went to the auction house listed, and looked at their previous auctions. Here is the listing for the auction: https://sullivanauctions.com/event/a...rd-at-1030-am/
Looking through the photos for the auction, I can see there is still one of those fire trucks in the hanger.
