After leaving the RCAF Memorial Museum I headed north from Trenton to visit the Memorial Military Museum in Campbellford…
This is a small museum with some airframe on outside display. Recent news from the museum is that nine CT-114 Tutors were recently acquired from the Canadian Armed Forces. Owner, Harold Carlaw, has one of them on display, s/n 114180. The other 8 are at the facility of his son, David Carlaw. Apparently a new museum is being constructed and the other eight airframes will be on display there in Snowbirds markings. In addition Carlaw obtained another Tutor cockpit section, s/n 114063, from a scrap yard and it is displayed outdoors as well. I took a number of walk around photos of the Canso hulk, and held the camera inside the fuselage through a few different openings to get some interior shots. You can find all of the photos in this album…

I also saw lots of “interesting junk” laying around. Tucked away in the weeds and trees on the other side of the Sea Bee was a badly hacked up cockpit section of something. I have no clue what it is. Can you tell me? Here are some direct links to the photos…

From Cambellford I traveled to the Markham Airport to visit the Canadian Air, Land and Sea Museum…
Honestly only the air portion of the museum is represented here, and for that matter the museum building has never been open when I have been there. Odd? Yes. However, the collection of airframes on display out side is rather interesting, and are all jets most of which once served in the Canadian Forces. There are also a number of CF-5/CF-116 airframes in a storage yard. Further up the hill on the active portion of the airfield there are some other interesting airframe parked. There is no admittance to the general public, but a gentlemen working at the airport gave me a very brief tour of the flight line and I was able to snap some pictures of the collection. I am not sure I have ever seen so many F-104s (my favorite century series) in one place so I was quite pleased. You can find the pictures in this album…

The road trip is “To Be Continued”. Look for more photo albums in the upcoming days starting with the Toronto Aerospace Museum and the Canadian Warplane Heritage.

What’s with the Avro Arrow? Mockup?
The Arrow is something like a 2/3 scale mock up for a play about the Arrow that ran in Toronto a few decades back.

Would love to see more pics if you’ve got ’em.
Unfortunately that is all of them. I am not holding back on pics in that album.

Anson- very early

That’s quite a find. Both Canada and Australia had many Ansons scattered around the countyside after the war. Of the British built machines, virtually all were of the later ‘steep-screen’ variety. Your pics show one of the very early ‘slope-screened’ Mk1s, a much sleeker looking machine.
Would love to see more pics if you’ve got ’em.

nope… initially thought that, then saw the intact airframe, a little cross-referencing with the windscreen shapes and … tada… bugsmasher
nice little collection, I might have to swing by on my next jaunt up to Trenton.
