How much do you know about 5 March 1953, my reading friend? The jury of the British Film Academy (BFA) selected the British motion picture The Sound Barrier as the best British film of 1952, as well as the best made film anywhere on planet Earth in that year, on 5 March 1953, you say (type?)? Very good. May yours truly add that the award for the best performance by a British actor of the male gender for 1952 went to Sir Ralph Richardson, a gentleman who played Sir John Ridgefield, one of the

Yours truly will readily admit that I have had, have and will presumably continue to have a strong affinity toward the unusual, the strange, the odd looking, etc. To my great shame, in my teenage years, when I had hair (Sigh…), I was intrigued by the absurd / batty / outrageous / preposterous / ridiculous theories put forward from the 1960s onward by Swiss author Erich Anton Paul von Däniken. Chariots of the Gods? Return to the Stars?? If I may quote the 1980 aphorism by American astronomer /

Greetings, my reading friend, and welcome to this new page in the history of the Canadian aircraft industry. A page which opened in Cartierville, Québec, in February 1953. Let us keep away, however, so as not to attract attention. Canada’s Minister of National Defence, Brooke Claxton, appears indeed to be asking a question to the President and Managing Director of Canadair Limited of Cartierville, James Geoffrey “Geoff” Notman.

Hello there, my reading friend. Given the less than balmy weather in a certain northern corner of the northern hemisphere of planet Earth, yours truly thought that a topic like the one on offer today, in this edition of our heart warming blog / bulletin / thingee, would be most appropriate indeed. Let us begin with a quote, which consists of the brief text which accompanied the photograph above.

Welcome back, my reading friend, and profuse apologies. Yours truly remembers only too well my December 2022 statement according to which I hereby and heretofore endeavoured to valiantly attempt to be briefer in my perorations. I had, however, prefaced that statement by stating that resolutions for the new year could be (tend to be?) fleeting. Well, now you have proof. Hence the apologies. Now, where were we? Ah yes. The Junkers Ju 52 of Canadian Airways Limited of Montréal, Québec, was being

Welcome back, my reading friend. I am pleased to welcome you yet again to the wonderful world of aviation. You will undoubtedly remember that, when we flew off last week, we were in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in late December 1931, with the crew of a Junkers Ju 52 cargo plane bought a few months before by Canadian Airways Limited of Montréal, Québec. As you may well imagine, said crew took a few days off during the holiday season. Mind you, it was very likely that these gentlemen joined Canadian

May I begin this issue of our tremendous blog / bulletin / thingee with a heartfelt aeronautical hello? Yours truly would like to bring to you attention this week the remarkable career of an equally remarkable bushplane, the Junkers Ju 52 “flying box car” registered as CF-ARM of Canadian Airways Limited of Montréal, Québec. And yes, I still very much intend to valiantly attempt to be briefer. So, let us begin. Canadian Airways was created in November 1930, from the merger of Western Canada

Greetings, my faithful reading friend. Yours truly is indeed happy that you agreed to join me in our examination of the second flight impact simulator of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, a national museum located in Ottawa, Ontario. That impressive device was put together by Fairey Canada Limited of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Although not a major player in the Canadian aircraft industry, that firm was one of the major players in Atlantic Canada and British Columbia during the 1950s and 1960s
