No that isn’t one of them, had not much luck with the Norwegian Consulate in communicating to the Norwegian veterans. The ones we have are all local to the Muskoka and Collingwood areas who moved back to the area after the war. We had really hoped for more involvement from the Consulate to get Veterans from Norway over for the Anniversary but it has been very disappointing as the governments don’t really feel that 70 is an important milestone. To make sure that no one would forget these two battles, this 70th Anniversary Air Show is an entirely private venture as no government felt it as an important enough milestone. To quote one branch “Come back and talk to us for the 75th”. That’s ok though because it really isn’t about them it is about honouring our veterans and the ones who never came back.

Hope to see everyone out at the show July 17 & 18.

Sorry to hear, but still very pleased you managed to get some of the local veterans involved.
