Hi Roberta.

Back in the 1950's a private land owner used several UC Mk I Carriers as road fill on a road on his property. That road is now a minor Provincial Highway and the Carriers are still there.

I also recall many years ago a Lanc and two Horsa's on the ranges in CFB Shilo, along with one or two Shermans. When they were finally shot up so bad, they brought in two Centurions as targets. Not sure what is left of them these days.

Off and on in the 1970's and 1980's, I heard from several sources that somebody in the lake country area of Manitoba had acquired a Lanc which the owner pulled the wings off and stored the whole plane in a barn.

Used to hear a lot at one time about P-51's buried in a pit at the old CFB Rivers site, but I don't think anyone ever went to check it out.
