Jó naput / hello, my reading friend. And yes, you are quite right in saying that the photograph at the beginning of this article did not appear in La semaine à Radio-Canada¸ a weekly published in Montréal, Québec, in October 1959 or 1969. I appealed to it because it allowed me to talk about a Québec television series aimed at a young audience, one of the first televised science fiction series in Québec and Canada in fact, whose premiere took place in October 1959, 60 years ago.

“Museums in a Digital World” certainly describes Ingenium’s trio of museums in Ottawa, which include the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, and the Canada Science and Technology Museum.

Let us therefore begin this overview without any further ado. Produced in 2 distinct sets of episodes, CF-RCK looked at the adventures and mishaps of the owners of a Cessna Model 180 registered as, you guessed it, CF-RCK. And no, my reading friend, I can not confirm that this registration was chosen because the show was broadcasted by

Top of the morning, my reading friend, and welcome to the wonderful world of aviation and space. With your permission, or without it, if need be, yours truly will move a little away from our usual anniversarial approach to address a subject that is close to my heart. One of the first, if not the first fictional / entertainment Canadian television series devoted to aviation went on the air in November 1958. It was entitled CF-RCK. This weekly production of Société Radio-Canada, a state-owned

Greetings, my reading friend. With your permission, we will momentarily put aside the remarkable library of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa, Ontario, to view a publication which, at first glance, had nothing to do with the fields of interest of this august institution. A review of the weekly La semaine à Radio-Canada allowed yours truly to unearth a television show I would have liked to see during my youth.
