Aircraft collection Markham Ontario

A Shame

Thats too bad as they do lok in resaonable shape!

The a/c and airport at Markham are owned by the Thompson Corporation not Al Reuban .
Mr Reuban runs a Property Managment company that looks after things for the Thompsons.
At one time I worked for he and the Thompsons doing the restoration work on the a/c that are stored in the hanger.
All my fees were in the form of Thompson Corp cheques.

A sad note , it seems that the Thompsons are not interested in really doing anything with the a/c besides letting Mr Reuban call himself the Air Land Sea Museum.
The collection mostly consists of ex CAF a/c and some vintage that are not on display.
All of the a/c ouside are in poor condition while the vintage a/c even though inside are not stored in less than ideal conditions.

Those are the ones

Thanks Darrell. Would like to see them before the snow flys for sure. Why are you not allowed to go over to the outdoor airframes?

You can find photos of the collection at Markham via here…

I stopped by there last July. I was not permitted walk out onto the field where most of the airframes are stored, but I was able to get a few shots from a distance. A number of CF-116s were added over the last year.
