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.

When the Avro Arrow project was cancelled by the federal government in 1959, the six planes already constructed were to be completely destroyed. Fortunately, a pair of ejection seats survived. This is their story.

Welcome back, my reading friend. Are we ready to proceed on the path to enlightenment? Wunderbar! The road to a slightly better understanding of the Canadian career of the SAGEM CU-161 Sperwer tactical unpiloted aerial vehicle beckons. As discussions concerning the long-term use of unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAV) were taking place in Canada, the Canadian Forces’ Sperwers returned to Afghanistan, possibly a tad later than originally planned, in February 2006. In mid-March, the Canadian Forces’

Welcome back, my reading friend. Given that, this time around, you did not catch me in the middle of something, the two of us can now proceed on the yellow brick road of memory lane toward a better understanding of the Canadian aspect of the saga of the SAGEM Sperwer tactical unpiloted aerial vehicle. That Canadian aspect burst into the scene in 2003. Well, it actually sneaked into the scene in 2001, soon after the infamous attacks which took place in the United States on 11 September of that

Greetings, my reading friend, and profuse apologies. Unable to restrain my wing nutty tendencies any further, yours truly has strayed into the tangled forest that was / is military procurement. Yes, I did. And I am taking you with me down that garden path. More specifically, I would like to disentangle the convoluted story of a piece of military hardware, the SAGEM Sperwer tactical unpiloted aerial vehicle, whose acquisition was announced by the Department of National Defence 20 years ago this

Hello there, my reading friend. Given that yours truly still had a lot of material on T.K. Bellis Turtle Company Limited of London, England, I thought best to put said that material in this second instalment. And here it is. Are you not joyous? I could easily have turned this project into a three-part article, you know… Humm, your show of joy is not exactly staggering but it will do. As yours truly hinted at in the first part of this article, by the early 1870s, Thomas Kerrison Bellis had come

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

Welcome to this special National Aviation Day edition of our blog / bulletin / thingee. As you may have noticed, the most recent issue of said blog / bulletin / thingee had reached the average length I allow myself to bust your chops. Hence this special edition which yours truly will begin without further ado. The first Canadair Silver Star left the ground in December 1952. Curiously, it might, I repeat might, have been fitted with a Rolls-Royce Nene engine delivered by a major French firm

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.
