Canadair CL70 CFR 58-91588

[Robin Craig]

The side trip up to CFB Borden was to connect with Colin Alford.

I had a conversation with Colin at the Acton during the OMVA show.He dropped the bombshell that he had a windshield and a rudder and that both were in fair shape. My windshield frame is broken along the top and missing some of the fastenings. Unfortunately we didn't connect at Aquino but this trip made so much sense to go get it.

I am very much in debt to Colin for this act of preservation and recognising that this manufactured item has value to someone in the future, a true member of the MV hobby. Thank you Colin.

The plexi is broken but it is easy to have it remade now I have the complete frame.

I think that an Ottawa company may make the replacement unless I can find one locally in Kingston.

Before I forget it if anyone is able to let me know a parts supplier for the drawer catches on the steel cubes I would appreciate that, Rob Love thinks they were made for the CF by Stanley. One never knows who is watching . . .
