The Museum was once again a participant at the Abbotsford Airshow, 5 – 7 August. The ‘Sold Out’ signs and scorching weather brought back memories of past airshows. The Museum sales tent did a roaring business throughout. The Museum’s flying collection was represented by the Fleet Canuck and the SE5a. On display was the non-flying Sopwith Camel – and a replica all-metal biplane for photo ops.
Sheila and Brenda ensure the sales tent is set up before the onslaught of buyers.
The ‘green machine’ was a favorite for photo ops for young and older…

as all displays are packed away.
