I remember seeing bins of No.5's for sale in the Woolco Department store on Marine Drive in North Vancouver in 1967. My memory may be faulty, but I seem to remember that the price there was $12.95 each. I shoulda bought 'em all!
Some of the older Canadian members of MLU might want to kick their collective behinds. In November of 1956 the P51 Mustang and the D.H. 100 Vampire were formally retired from the RCAF. Crown Assets offered them for sale shortly after for $500 apiece! Mein Gott! Why is hindsight always 20/20?!?
CHIMO!
