Have you ever had one of those days when you should have stayed in bed, my reading friend? The photograph you just saw probably fits in that category. Now, fear not, the pilot of the flying machine in that image lived to fly another day. Mind you, one could argue he was rather lucky to have walked away. To understand how the flying machine in question ended up of the roof of the Vancouver, British Columbia, house of an ear, eye and nose doctor by the name of James Collins Farish, one had to step

Hello, my reading friend fascinated by aerial matters and, in this case, the fascinating story of the first light / private plane designed in Canada, the Reid Rambler. So, let us begin the second part of our presentation without any more twaddle. Wilfrid Thomas Reid, founding president of Reid Aircraft Limited of Montréal, Québec, (office) and Cartierville, Québec (workshop), began the design of the Rambler, an all-new two-seat training aircraft, even before the end of the winter of 1927-28. It

When the Avro Arrow project was cancelled by the federal government in 1959, the six planes already constructed were to be completely destroyed. Fortunately, a pair of ejection seats survived. This is their story.

With your permission, or without it if necessary, yours truly would like to serve you a main course of an aeronautical nature today. A course which had its origins in a period in the history of aeronautics I am particularly fond of, the interwar period, between 1918 and 1939. A course linked to the 95th anniversary of the first flight of a Canadian-designed aircraft in September 1928. Êtes-vous greyé(e)? Yes, yes, greyé(e). In other words, are you ready? Wunderbar! Let us begin, with a bit of

Welcome back, my reading friend. Are we ready to proceed on the path to enlightenment? Wunderbar! The road to a slightly better understanding of the Canadian career of the SAGEM CU-161 Sperwer tactical unpiloted aerial vehicle beckons. As discussions concerning the long-term use of unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAV) were taking place in Canada, the Canadian Forces’ Sperwers returned to Afghanistan, possibly a tad later than originally planned, in February 2006. In mid-March, the Canadian Forces’

Welcome back, my reading friend. Given that, this time around, you did not catch me in the middle of something, the two of us can now proceed on the yellow brick road of memory lane toward a better understanding of the Canadian aspect of the saga of the SAGEM Sperwer tactical unpiloted aerial vehicle. That Canadian aspect burst into the scene in 2003. Well, it actually sneaked into the scene in 2001, soon after the infamous attacks which took place in the United States on 11 September of that

Greetings, my reading friend, and profuse apologies. Unable to restrain my wing nutty tendencies any further, yours truly has strayed into the tangled forest that was / is military procurement. Yes, I did. And I am taking you with me down that garden path. More specifically, I would like to disentangle the convoluted story of a piece of military hardware, the SAGEM Sperwer tactical unpiloted aerial vehicle, whose acquisition was announced by the Department of National Defence 20 years ago this
