Wilfrid Thomas Reid. Anon., “Specification and description of the Reid Rambler.” Canadian Air Review, November 1928, 30.

It was born a rambling plane, trying to make a living and doing the best it could: The fascinating story of the Reid / Curtiss-Reid Rambler, Canada’s first light / private plane, part 2

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

Good day to you, my assiduous reading friend. I am pleased to reconnect with you on our path to aerospace enlightenment. Let us see how will end the saga of the Québec ultralight / microlight aircraft manufacturing firm Ultravia Aéro Incorporée of Mascouche, Québec. And you have a question, do you not, my reading friend? What is an U.L.M? And what is the I.F.N.? Uh, those are two questions, are they not, my reading friend? Anyway, let us deal with these queries, then move on. An U.L.M. was / is

A typical Ultravia Pélican ultralight aircraft on floats. The absence of a registration is worth noting. Anon., “Amateurs – ULM ou avions?” Aviation magazine international, 1 August 1983, 37.

Good day, good day indeed, to you, my reading friend, and welcome to the wonderful world of aviation and space. Well, to that of aviation anyway. For many aviation enthusiasts, the light / private planes present in small airports are way too expensive to buy, and have been for several if not many decades. Machines often very similar in appearance and performance known as ultralight / microlight / light sport aircraft, if they were delivered in airworthy condition, or as amateur-built / homebuilt

A map of the cranberry bog of Les Producteurs de Québec Limitée of Lemieux, Québec. Luc Bureau, “Un exemple d’adaptation de l’agriculture à des conditions écologiques en apparence hostiles: L’Atocatière de Lemieux,” Cahiers de géographie du Québec, December 1970, 389.

Ahh, it is you, my reading friend. As thrilled as yours truly is at seeing you so that we can conclude our brief look at the history of the first cranberry bog in Québec, I must admit that you caught me in the middle of something. May I put you on hold for a minute or two? Many thanks. [Music of the American television game show Jeopardy playing in the background.] Now, where were we? Ah yes, the late 1950s, and… Yours truly would recognise that look anywhere, my reading friend. You are puzzled

Greetings, my reading friend, and welcome to this second part of our article on the first cranberry bog / farm / marsh in Québec. You will of course remember that this pioneering venture was the work of Jean Baptiste Edgar Larocque, founder of Les Producteurs de Québec Limitée of Lemieux, Québec. In early November 1940, the experiment launched by that gentleman led to the organisation of a cranberry production centre able to fulfill (part of?) the needs of the Québec market, or so stated the

Now that yours truly has your undivided attention, my understandably puzzled and slightly alarmed reading friend, let me reassure you by stating unequivocally that there is madness, err, method behind the madness, this time at least. The reference to an oceanic ophidian has very little to do with the topic of this week’s issue of our absolutely fabulous blog / bulletin / thingee, in other words with the history of the first cranberry bog / farm / marsh in Québec – in French la première tourbière

Guten Morgen, mein Lesefreund. Wie geht’s? Would you like to join me in a little jaunt down the yellow brick road of memory lane to a beer garden near you? Wunderbar! The topic of this week’s issue of our intellectually rewarding and stimulating blog / bulletin / thingee is a brewery. Grab yourself a stein of non alcoholic beer and some giant pretzels, and join me at a table in the shade. Once upon a time, between 1837 and 1840, in Waterloo, Canada West, the Western half of the Province of

A smiling Mrs. Élie Fortin of Montmagny, Québec, accepting the bicycle won by her daughter, Michèle Fortin, in a contest organised by Dulac Potato Chips Incorporated of Sainte-Marie, Québec. Anon., “–.” Le Peuple, 10 May 1963, 10.

A big hello, my reading friend, and welcome to the world of technology and science, space and aviation, and food and agriculture – and serial / Oxford / Harvard commas. (Hello, EP!) It is through the third dynamic duo of the sentence before the previous sentence that yours truly hopes to titillate your little gray cells on this day. Do you like potato chips? I have to admit that I have a thing for the junk food that potato chips are, a food high in calories, err, joules, with little nutritional

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

The Junkers Ju 52 bushplane registered as CF-ARM of Canadian Airways Limited of Montréal, Québec. Anon., “Pionnier des transports lourds dans le nord du Canada, le ‘Cargo volant’ a fini sa carrière.” Photo-Journal, 29 January 1948, 2.

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
