Canadian Museum of Flight and Transportation Issue #47 Summer 1995 CMFT ACQUIRES CF-104D STARFIGHTER The CF-104 Starfighter acquired from the Comox Museum. This photo was taken in May 1982 at the South Terminal of Vancouver Airport during a weekend jaunt from the cold winter of Cold Lake, Alberta On March 30 a CF-104D Star- fighter arrived to take up residence at the Langley location of the Canadian Museum of Flight and Transportation. The Starfighter is the very latest acquisi- tion by the Museum and is the first aircraft to arrive at the new site. This acquisition is the result of over 8 years of discussion with the Comox Air Force Museum. There have been “on again-off again” plans to trade the CMFT’s H-21 helicopter for a military jet, perhaps a Voodoo. Finally all the forces came into alignment and the trade was suddenly possible. The CMFT had two very similar Piasecki helicopter airframes; an ex- USAF H-21 and a Vertol Model 44. Since the Comox Museum collects only aircraft types that have been stationed at CFB Comox, they were interested in the H-21 which is the earlier version and once operated as Search and Rescue. The Model 44 was a Vertol Company demonstrator and was equipped with features meant for the civil use of the helicopter. The major factor that clinched the deal is the house cleaning that the Department of Defense is doing at their aircraft storage site in Mountain View, Ontario. It was decided that some of the airframes that were being used for battle damage repair training could be sent to museums. This allowed the Comox Museum to acquire the CF-104 that they could then swap for the CMFT’s H-21. The icing on the cake was that the military could arrange for transportation of the jet to British Columbia. Captain Harlin Price commanded a group that prepared the Starfighter fighter and expedited shipping of the engineless with his log books. airframe from far away Ontario. This jet aircraft traveled the slow way, by road, from it’s previous home at Mountain View. The team of Canadian Armed Forces Engineers handled the over 2000 KM transfer smoothly and the Starfighter arrived in great shape. Over a dozen museum volunteers came out to help with the job of unload- ing the aircraft with a crane and packed drop tanks and dragged wing crates. Once a team of volunteers had pushed the Starfighter into hangar it became the first museum aircraft at the new site. This aircraft, the former RCAF 12645/CAF 104645, was one of the 22 Lockheed built CF-104D Mk. 1’s. These two seaters were powered by Canadian built J79-OEL-7s jet engines and had an avionics package meant specifically for this country. Since Canada only had 38 Starfighter trainers (the other 16 being CF-104D Mk. 2’s) Photo courtesy of Martin Slides there are many Starfighter pilots that have spent time in one of the cockpits of 645. In fact Langley Airport Manager, Retired Colonel George Miller, a former Snowbirds Leader, has flown in this particular craft at least 5 times on his three CF-104 tours. George was present when the Starfighter arrived so that he could compare serial numbers Langley resident Al French was a flying instructor and has flown the airplane 30 to 40 times.

NE Canadian Museum of Flight and Transportation The CMFT Newsletter is published quarter- ly by the Canadian Museum of Flight and PRESIDENTS MESSAGE Many members may recall the earlier days of the CMFT and the hopes of hav ing a permanent home-one that would give us the opportunity to display not only a small portion of our aeroplane collection, but also an interesting assortment of aviation memorabilia. Hopefully by the time you read our next issue of the CMFT Newsletter – the hopes I have mentioned will be a reality. As this copy goes to press we still do not have a date as to when we will have all functions up and running. It has been a slow and indeed at times frustrating experience, but as time goes by, other problems are being overcome. Needless to say, throughout this whole experience, a very ded- icated (but small) group of individuals have put forward a major effort in carrying out this move. When one considers the logistics, etc. I do believe a “Well done” is in order. In closing I would hope that more involvement by our membership would make the efforts so worthwhile.

It was interesting to receive these and I shall be passing on the information to some of the few remaining members of 489 Squadron in New Zealand and the UK who flew these aircraft for two years from 1941 to 1943 based in Scotland and attacking shipping off the Norwegian coast with quite a deal of success but I’m afraid. with many casualties. We were equipped as a torpedo Squadron and at that time had no escort aircraft, attacking shipping from a height of about 60 ft. and 800 to “We were equipped as a torpedo Squadron and at that time had no escort aircraft” 1000 yds. The German air force had many fighter stations on the coast plus coastal batteries and their convoys were normally protected by two or three “flak” ships. In October 1943 the Squadron was re equipped with the Torbeau and of course the crews changed from Hampden (4) to Pilot and Radio Nav. They operated from Norfolk for a spell then returned to Scotland and were there until the end of the war. They were in fact in the process of changing over to the Mosquito when the European (war) was finished. The Squadron was disbanded in August 1945 when the New Zealanders went home. We had a reunion in Norway in 1988 and two small ones in the UK but the bulk of the Squadron was of course from New Zealand. I don’t know if you are aware that the New Zealand contingent came from New Zealand to Canada and did all their flying training there arriving in Leuchars, Scotland in Nov. 1941 where a small nucleus of UK aircrews were waiting their arrival to form a new Squadron. I understand that there may be two Hampdens in the UK but one is in apparently very bad condition and is unlikely to be restored. The other is a possibility and I will let you have any further news. The restoration work is being carried out at RAF, East Kirby. Incidentally, my wife also served with 489,1943/45 as an MT driver. I thank you again for your help and send our very good wishes to you and success in your work on the “Flying Suitcase”. Very Sincerely, “Jock” and Doreen Hindri Edinburgh, Scotland

Continued from Page! to celebrating his 1000th flying hour in 645. Al speculates that there are at least 13 other pilots in the Langley area alone who have time in this particular aircraft He has offered to gather the names of those who have had experience in this aircraft so that a reunion ceremony of some sort may be arranged with the men and the plane. If 104645 appears in your log books then please give Al French a call at 534-2695. The CF-104 arrived in the 3 colour camouflage paint scheme that was applied to Canadian aircraft that served in Europe. However, research indicates that 645 never left the country but served most of its flying career in Cold Lake Alberta. Al French was able to provide a photo showing the aircraft in flight over northern Alberta. The plane has an unpainted fuselage with white wings and a red rudder. It appears that camouflage paint scheme was put on in the late 70’s because that pilots using the aircraft were training to execute NATO missions in Europe. The painting was done to increase the reality of the train- ing simulations since the actual mission would be carried out in Europe with a camouflaged aircraft. Something will have to be done with 645 pictured left in flight over Cold Lake before camouflage was applied Photo courtesy Al French canopy jettison. Over the last couple of months there have been several work crews organized to prepare the Starfighter for display. The first crew cleaned the road grime off the aircraft and took inventory of the parts that had been shipped up. In May, half a dozen volunteers from the Langley area spent a day reattaching the wings. Despite their short length, the wings are fairly heavy chunks of metal. As you can see from the photos, there were enough helping hands lifting the wing that the shop crane was almost redundant. Several first time volunteers discovered a hidden talent for airframe mechanics. Another crew came together for the attachment of the vertical stabilizer and the elevator. This was a fairly high alti- tude job and the needed lifting services were provided by Cloverdale Truss. The crew prepared the Starfighter for viewing at the open house that was held during the Langley Days celebration. Jackie Cochran achieved three world speed display. The only major items that did records in a twin seater Starfighter in 1957 the paint job on the museums aircraft because it does have many stencils sprayed on that indicate that it is an instructional airframe. Also, despite being bubble wrapped for the trip up, the coating on the nose cone chipped. The markings will have to be straightened out since wings have lettering that indi- cate that they come from a different air- craft. To make sure that this Starfighter stays on the ground, the DND did cut a main spar and a couple of the major for- mers. This necessary job was Supervised by Captain Price and he made sure it was done in a manner that had no cos- metic effect on the plane. The military also took care to remove the explosive charges from the ejection seats and the Captain Harlin Price, Jerry Vernon, Brad Thomas, Ron McWilliams and George Proulx beside the wing of the CF-104 not make the trip from Mountain View are some fairing strips between the fuse- lage and the wing. Long time member and Hampden Restorer Fred Gardham, Mountain View Mountain View is the storage site of the Canadian Forces surplus air- craft. It is a detachment of Canadian Forces Base Trenton which is located in eastern Ontario, just down the lake from Toronto. Mountain View was a small ham- let that underwent dramatic changes in 1940 when runways were laid and hangars built for the Air Armament school of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Over 500 military personnel moved in along with Fairey Battles, Bolingbrokes, Harvards and Ansons. For the dura- tion of the war Mountain View trained airgunners to complement the pilots being produced at nearby Trenton. In more recent times the The 104 is almost complete for static Mountain View hangars have served to shelter the military’s inactive air- craft and as a training school for the Aircraft Battle Damage Repair pro- gram. Tutors, Starfighters, Freedom Fighters, Sabres, Buffalo and Cosmopolitans are some of the more recent residents of the facility. The Department of Defense has recently implemented a program to dispose of many of the aircraft at Mountain View. The Buffalo will probably end up in the firefighting service while air- craft like the Cosmopolitans become cargo or courier aircraft. Some of the airframes are being donated to Museums or groups like Legions. Many of the fighter aircraft will be retained as a strategic reserve or will be sold to NATO allies.

Big Bird Fly In Starfighter, Continued The CMFT gift trailer made a short trip to Fry’s Corner, in Surrey, on Sunday June 25th to attend one of the Remote Control Flying Club of B.C.’s big events. Jerry Vernon, Basil and Chris Watson, and Ellen and George Proulx, were warmly welcomed by the RC Club and enjoyed the day’s minia- ture airshow while staffing the gift trail- er. CMFT President George Proulx reports that the event was even better than last year. The RC Club will be hosting another special event on Sept. 24 also at Fry’s Corner. Volunteer News The Museum Newsletter would like to issue congratulations to volun- teer Warren Ruiter for winning a trip to Germany in a Canada wide essay contest. At 15, Warren is the youngest of the volunteers in this years Top Twenty List. He has partic- ipated in projects at the Museum ranging from cleaning the Piasecki H-21 to repainting the insignia on the T-33. Recently he participated in a parade with the Sopwith Camel and the assembly of the Starfighter. Warren has promised to do his best to sneak a Messerschmitt back in his luggage. The Museum Newsletter is very pleased to announce that Director Keith Retallack has volunteered to take on the job of Volunteer Coordinating. Keith views this type of organizational task as extremely important to the future of the Museum. He plans to help members organize projects, volunteers, tools and schedules, Keith has spent time on weekends at the Museum for the last year and has been involved in a wide variety of projects from chang- ing a tire on the H-21 to hanging air- craft from ceilings. This experience with the Museum’s people and resources puts Keith in a good posi- tion to assist members in accomplish- ing their goals and finding solutions to problems. The reason Volunteers are not paid is not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless. provided his metal working talents to replace a portion of the leading edge that was missing as well as to the construc- tion of a towbar. Since the airframe did not come with an engine, the exhaust nozzle that pro- trudes from the rear of the aircraft is noticeable by its absence. Efforts will have to be made to obtain this portion of the engine from somewhere. No one is really sure where yet. The cockpit is missing some of the instruments and fittings but this should not prove to be an insurmountable prob- lem to volunteers who wish to restore the flight positions to display condition. 104 arriving at new Airport location A notable exception may prove to be the coded arming switches for the nuclear weapons which will probably be impossible to obtain. There must be an “elephants grave- yard” of the hundreds of missing control stick grips out there some- where. These seem to be one of the hardest parts to keep attached to an aircraft. The same crew that delivered the Starfighter The Museum’s replica Sopwith Camel has been seen about the town recently. Director Basil Watson and his wife Chris organized the Camel’s appearance in the Fort Langley Parade. Basil towed the Camel fuselage on a trailer behind his vintage truck in the parade. The public and the Chamber of Commerce received this display warmly and children enjoyed the posters that volunteers Shelia Chmilar, Ron McWilliams and Warren Ruiter hand- to the Langley site hauled the H-21 from the Crescent road site to Comox. An John Clark leads the tip tank ‘conga line’ Chris Watson Photograph additional trailer was needed as the H-21 was hauled in two pieces. Once the cen- ter of gravity was well deter- mined, a process that provided an uplifting experience for volunteer John Clark, the crane loaded the helicopter onto the lowbed trailers. Once in Comox, a local crew reassembled the copter and are preparing to repaint it in the markings of 121 KU/442 Sqn., Canada’s West Coast Search and Rescue. The CMFT was lucky to have Jerry Vernon who orchestrated the 104 deal. Over a dozen volunteers, including many first timers assisted Keith Retallock, Basil Watson and Bill Young to install the wings on the CF-104 Starfighter Sopwith Camel at Fort Langley Parade ed out during the parade. Rain cancelled plans to show the Camel in the Aldergrove Parade. The Camel was also to appear in the Langley Days Parade but this had to be can- celled after the wings were prematurely installed for the Airfair display. Plans are in the works to colour code the rig- ging on the Camel so that it may be more easily disassembled and transport- ed to offsite events. Page 4

Tech Notes The F-104 Starfighter was a product of aircraft designer Kelly Johnson’s infamous “Skunk Works”. Since 1943, when the “Skunk Works” had created the F-80 Shooting Star, jet fighters had grown progressively larger and heavier. Russia’s nimble MIG 15 made the pow- ers that be recognize the need for a fast, light fighter. Johnson’s engineering team came up with a stub winged configuration that was a minimum of airframe wrapped around the JX-24A engine, which General Electric was developing. The Starfighter was designed for a top speed of Mach 2.2, which was as fast as the aluminum alloy technology of the time would allow. Airframe heating was the limiting factor. In deference to it’s supersonic flight regime, the Starfighter’s wings had a speeds. short span and a very thin airfoil. So thin were the wings that innovative tech- niques were required in order to fit the necessary hardware inside them. For actuating the ailerons, a 1″ thick block of aluminum was machined with 10 small hydraulic cylinders in row. Its novel appearance earned it the nickname of the piccolo manifold. The thin wings also explain why the hinges for the con- seat trol surfaces are mounted to the aircraft’s skin. Ground crew needed to be wary that they didn’t bump their heads into the knife sharp leading edge. To allow for a more reasonable land ing speed, the Starfighter’s wing was equipped with a leading edge slat, now common on passenger jets, and a blown flap system. High pressure air from the engine was ducted to small nozzles in the wing that directed a high speed stream across the top of the flap that pre- vented flow separation and allowed the flap to generate more lift at lower The prototype of the Starfighter made its first flight in 1954. After a series of flight tests the fuselage was lengthened and the tail moved in order VICTORY OVER NORMANDY The third release by Robert Bailey Signed by the artist and Spitfire Ace, I.F. Kennedy! to improve longitudinal stability. The T- tail was judged to be the best of the 285 configurations tested. However, this tall tail prompted the designers to add the very unpopular downward firing ejection A more conventional seat was installed in the F-104G model that was designed for Germany in 1960. This new type was very successful as a heavy attack aircraft; the exact opposite of the role that the Starfighter was first designed for. Although very similar in appearance, the airframe was structurally quite different with many new close tol- erance parts and forgings. The CF-104 that was manufactured in Canada starting in 1960, was very similar to the F-104G. Canadair eventu- ally produced 340 Starfighters under licensee from Lockheed, many of which were sold to our Nato allies. The 104 was eventually produced in 6 countries, from Japan to Italy, under the Mutual Assistance Program (MAP). Langley Air Fair ’95 The Langley Air Fair took place on Saturday June 17 and the Museum host- ed an open house at the new hangar location. Renovations to the building are not yet complete but volunteers opened the hangar doors and guided visitors among the few aircraft that have been. moved to the new site. The Fleet Finch and Tiger Moth were displayed indoors for the first time in years. Crews had put the CF-104 togeth- er after its trip up from Ontario and it was on display outdoors with the S-55 helicopter and the fuselage of the CF- 100 and the T-33. Director Doug Fraser put on a display of armaments and answered the many questions about the machine guns and missiles. Archie Frasers’ superb collection of wooden model W.W.I fighters was also on dis- play. “Canadian Museum of Flight and Transportation” 5333-216th Street Langley, B.C.

Around the Site along the back of the hangar. This should keep the inside rooms dry during heavy rains. S-55 helicopter has also made the move. Fred Gardhams’ Handley Page Hampden project has been disassembled The Triple ATCO, which has served as storage and a volunteer room at Crescent Road, is now set up near the back of the Langley hangar. Volunteers have been busy putting the roof back on. Local bylaws require a firewall to be built between the two buildings and a sprinkler system to be installed in the ATCO. John De Visser paints the hangar roof at the Longley location Much progress had been made at the Museum’s new hangar at the Langley Airport. The first and most visible change involved the painting of the roof. Director John DeVisser, with some help from his friends Cory Perrot and Robert Cary put on a fresh coat of sil- ver paint. The Museum thanks General Some firewalls are in place inside the hangar between the display area and the cafeteria. Nothing yet has been done to the rather battered overhead door. The Museum installed a new power pole at the corner of the Langley site after some low hanging wires got caught on the Piasecki HUP-3 helicopter as it was being moved. Unfortunately, a water main was discovered while a hole was being dug for the new pole. The Museum regrets the inconvenience this accident caused to the businesses at the airport. Much praise should go to Director Basil Watson and Joe Shewela for working so hard to minimize that inconve- nience and getting things up and running Cloverdale Truss helped move the CF-100 by donating equipment and expertise again. The first of sever- al other aircraft to arrive was the Lockheed CF-104 from Mountain View. and is awaiting it’s move. The second was the Sopwith Camel replica, which was brought over to the hangar to appearance. Several tractor trailer loads of mater- ial have been transferred to a new stor- age site in Fort Langley.

Unfortunately much of the wall painting will have to be redone because the wall panels have since been removed weight. in order to bolt some steel earthquake protection plates to the beams. Contractors managed to auger into the rock hard soil around the new site and install posts for a chain link fence. The fence is complete with a large gate on the north side, facing the runways. The Lockheed T- 33 was hauled in three pieces from the Crescent Road site by two crane trucks from Cloverdale Truss. Bear Crane also generously provided the equipment to move one of the Museum’s heaviest aircraft the CF-100.
