pretty planes

I have been a member of CWH, Vintage Wings of Canada, and Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association over the past 30+ years.

I last saw FM213 about 3 weeks ago. She's almost ready for the 2017 season...
 
My dad could tell if it was a single engine Merlin, more than one single engine Merlin, a two engine or four engine Merlin. I guess that is what you get out of growing up during WWII. He would have been 10 when the bombers started coming over. Hull was the 2nd most heavily bombed city in the UK. Betting he could tell German motors too.

Never realized how big Hurricanes were compared to Spits and MEs. When I used to play Microsoft Warbird flight simulator I would take the Hurricane. I found it to be a more stable gun platform. Shyte dogfighter but a crack shot!

We went frequently to the Warbird Museum. Lovely place if your a plane buff.

Liking also Short Sunderland flying boats.

Grew up and was an air cadet there. It's easy to get spoiled by that place, hell they even had a Hurricane at the time, was one of their first aircraft.
Lost it in a fire though, that was bad. :(
 
I've got many apic of that Hurricane. Built by CCF in Thunder Bay, and flown by Rick Franks... terrible loss.

Now that the Y2-K Spitfire is done, Mike Potter's Mk. XII will likely take another couple of years to complete.
 
I have a large framed photo of a Lanc, Spit, 'cane and Mozzie all flying together over SW Ontario.
 
One of the interesting things in the video was the Sea Spit. Interesting folding of the wings.

Not a Seafire, I don't think. CWH has a Fairey Firefly, which has a Rolls-Royce Griffon power plant.

Google diff between Merlin & Griffon. Interesting reading. ;)
 
Doesn't look like the truck went more than an 1/8 of a mile. Take off speeds are apparently lower than I thought.

Lots of guys have trailers for their float planes. The runway tow happens fairly often, and yeah, lift on small aircraft is such that being airborne at 90-100 Km/h isn't unusual. The

We had three at the place I worked up the Ottawa... we shuttled a lot of aircraft between the launching ramp and the hangar. Also, in the Spring, we'd take the wheels off; hoist up the plane, then drop it onto the floats already on a trailer.

it's pretty hard on floats to leave them in the water all Summer, so guys will hangar their aircraft and tow them to the launch ramp.

In a pinch, a good pilot can land a float plane on snow or wet grass.
