Hello there, my reading friend. Do you like editorial cartoons? If this introduction sounds strange to you, the fact of the matter is that there is a method behind the madness, or is it madness behind the method? I forget. I am getting old. In any event, editorial cartoons can be very interesting for anyone interested in any topic. They sum up in a few incisive strokes a question which made / makes the headlines. The editorial cartoon above, for example, appeared in the 22 February 1951 issue of

Do you like helicopters, my reading friend? As a reader of our ode to science, technology and innovation, you must have some thoughts on the matter. Yes, yes, you must. Personally, while yours truly cannot say that I like helicopters, I must admit they are pretty amazing machines, which explains why this article of our blog / bulletin / thingee will go over the history of one of the types of helicopters on display at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa, Ontario. And yes, I forgot to

Bienvenue and welcome to the fabulous world of aviation and space. Did you notice that last week’s article in our blog / bulletin / thingee was about an excellent Canadian aircraft, the de Havilland Canada Caribou? Yes? Wunderbar. Are you happy with this choice? Doubly wunderbar. Having mentioned the name of another aircraft designed by de Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (DHC) of Downsview, near Toronto, Ontario, in said article, the idea occurred to me to discuss its story this week. And

I would like to speak (type?) to you this week about one of the very successful aircraft designed and manufactured by one of Canada’s leading aircraft manufacturers, de Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (DHC) of Downsview, Ontario – a firm mentioned many times in this place, since February 2018. This aircraft is the de Havilland Canada Caribou. In the months following the service introduction of the de Havilland Canada Otter single

Hello, good day, my reading friend. What would you think of a brief excursion into the wonderful world of aviation and space? Surprise! It will not be news to you, aviation enthusiast that you are, if I said (typed?) that it was in December... I can see in your face that you are puzzled by a sense of déjà vu.
