Flying

[Garry Shipton (RIP)]

Geoff,this was this first aircraft i flew in as a tenderfoot air cadet while at summer camp at the Farnham army camp..Talk about shake,rattle & roll.There were at that time gobs of CMP's.We'd go to the beach in C60's.About 20 yrs back went to Freeport Bahamas.Across the apron were two engineless Beech 18's,.They had white roofs & silver underbodies.Faintly,along the sides,I cud make out the faded red thunder bolts.Ex RCAF.What a waste of history.I still wonder how many farmers near the Farnham base bought the CMP's at auction for their farms.This area of the Eastern Townships may be a goldmine for CMP finds
