Through the generosity of the RCAF, the Museum aircraft involved at Vimy in April are now back in BC. A CC-130 flew the three dismantled aircraft back to Abbotsford Airport on 2 June. A team from the Museum – Directors, the Manager and volunteers – gathered to unload the aircraft and store them in a hangar.

…followed by Pup ‘Betty/Phyllis’.
The RCAF Hercules crew pose with the Museum crew after the unloading was complete.
This week, the first of the aircraft was assembled at Abbotsford for its flight back to Langley.
The crew begin the assembly process on Pup No. 1 – Wayne, Sam and Al.
On the wettest day of the week, the vital parts are kept dry.
The Pup is substantially complete – thanks to Ray, Sam, Wayne, Jim and Al.
