A few pics from our BBQ on Sunday with a few visitors. Three Harvards, two Stearmans, six Navions, a Taylorcraft L-type and a whole lot of friends. What a day!

A bit of history: The Harvard to the left of the 450 hp Stearman in photo #2 is actually a MkII with a Mkiv canopy. But the best part; Trevor was giving free rides in it and one of his passengers was "Doc" Paine, ex-RCAF, and he flew that particular Harvard in 1942 as part of the BCATP. Doc put on quite a show and at 94 years of age is still a licenced pilot.

Were the sausages any good? Because the planes are AWESOME!

Sausages??? Sausages??? You savage! In Canada we eat Prime Rib BEEF!

Barney

HMMMM! Prime Rib Beef!

That is the perfect Sunday arvo BBQ as far as I am concerned. A lovely late summer, sunny afternoon surrounded by beautiful aeroplanes and good friends. Doesn't get any better than that. And is that a Tracker fire bomber I see in the background of the 2nd last photo.....it's all good!!!!!.

Did the moose enjoy it? I think that's actually illegal.

Good eyes! Yes it is one of Conair's old CS2F Trackers that was donated to our little museum.
