Having at this time both hands on the steering wheel, I wish to launch our vehicle in a passionate quest for the distant origins of aircraft modelling in Canada / Québec.

Once upon a time, my reading friend, yours truly came across a photograph in the May 1960 issue of the British monthly magazine Air Pictorial. I liked this photograph and promptly decided to pontificate about it at a later date. This day has now arrived. Lucky you. The caption of said photograph read as follows, by the way:

Five men, suited in their flight gear, walk towards the camera with a bomber airplane, facing forward and to the right, in the background.

Ahoj, my reading friend, hello. It is, as always, a pleasure to welcome you to the wonderful world of aviation and space. Quick question. Do you know what homebuilding is? (Hello, SB!) Yes, you are correct. The term homebuilding refers to the construction of aircraft by individuals working at home using plans or kits more or less ready to be assembled.
