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 /

Canada’s Minister of National Defence, Brooke Claxton, left, during the taking of possession of the first Canadian-made Lockheed T-33 Silver Star jet trainer, Cartierville, Québec. Anon., “M. Claxton reçoit le premier réacté T-33 fabriqué ici.” La Patrie, 13 February 1953, 1.

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. The Canadian saga of the aircraft at the heart of this issue of our

Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Sergeant Bob Electro caught in the act of saluting the commanding officer of RCAF Station Clinton, Group Captain John Gordon Mathieson, Clinton, Ontario. Anon., “Six-Year-Old Sergeant.” The North Bay Nugget, 7 January 1963, 15.

Greetings and salutations, my reading friend. I can only hope that your holiday period was not hectic / taxing. It is with the hope of creating an atmosphere of sweetness and light that I offer you an article on a robot. Let us begin its electronic adventures with the caption of the photograph you saw a few moments ago.

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

The (single seat?) biplane designed by Canadian Aircraft Works (Incorporated? Limited? Registered?) of Montréal / Coteau Rouge, Québec, January 1915. Gustave Pollien might be at the controls. CASM, 1134.

Hello again and welcome back, my reading friend. Hopefully things are still going well in your corner of the Milky Way galaxy. Yours truly also dares to hope that this third and final part of the saga of our terrific trio will please you as much as the first two. You will remember that we ended the second part of this article when the First World War began in 1914. You will also remember that there was no air force in Canada at that time. As intrigued by aviation as some of the Canadian public

The prototype of the Canadian de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver bushplane on the day of its first flight, Downsview, Ontario, August 1947. CASM, KM-08317.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Beaver, happy birthday to you: An all too brief look at a Canadian icon, the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver bushplane, part 1

August 1947 was / is the month during which the prototype of a Canadian icon, the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver bushplane, first took to the sky. The happy day was in fact 16 August 1947. The story of that aerial icon began before that happy day, of course. What is this I hear? Can it be true? Really? Yes! To paraphrase the Thing, one of the Fantastic Four, a superhero team you should know and love, it is pontificating time! Sorry. Realising full well that it would probably / almost certainly

Welcome to the second and final part of our tale of mass destruction, my reading friend. Said part will have for mandate the unveiling of certain aspects of the Canadian service history of the Douglas M31 and M50 / MGR-1 Honest John short range unguided ground to ground rocket. As you may well imagine, several / many high-ranking Canadian Army officers had followed the development of that bombardment rocket with a great deal of interest since the early 1950s. The Honest John, they thought

The Avro Lancaster: Beyond the Second World War

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

The Avro Lancaster was a large British bomber airplane, manufactured by A.V. Roe and Company (Avro), that entered the Second World War in April 1942 and was best known for nighttime bombings of German cities. It was one of the first British bombers to feature four engines, which allowed it to carry a very large bombing load, more than 6,000 kg, as well as enough fuel to fly more than 2,600 km in a single flight. The Lancaster could reach speeds of 438 km per hour and had a high-altitude ceiling

If I may be permitted to quote princess Irulan Corrino, eldest daughter of the 81st Padishah Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV, a beginning is a very delicate time. It is a tricky one too. Indeed, do you know when the Cold War began, my erudite reading friend? Well, do you? And yes, this is but one of the many questions any museum working on a Cold War exhibition project might consider grappling with. And yes, you are quite correct, my reading friend.
