The Museum was, once again, a participant in the Boundary Bay Airshow. Two of its flying collection were included in the flypasts along with many other classic and modern aircraft. The newly restored Fleet Canuck was attending its first airshow, as was the new-build Sowith Pup replica. The grey skies and occasional sprinkle did not damp the spirits of the large audience.
An early start by Museum volunteers had the sales booth up and running by show time.
This magnificently restored Consolidated PBY Canso from Victoria, BC was on display.
The aircraft, built in Quebec in 1943, paid tribute to the wartime service of
RCAF Flight Lieutenant Edward Scott.
A rare visitor to Canadian skies was this Douglas SBD dive bomber
from the Erickson Aircraft Collection in Oregon.
The Museum’s Fleet Canuck performs at the airshow, along with its partner…
… the Sopwith Pup that was a visitor at the Vimy commemoration in France this year.
