This is kind of a long shot.
I’m off to Hamilton for the Airshow in a few weeks. The line up is superb.
Lanc, 2 x Hurricane, 2 x Spitfires, Mosquito, 262, FW190 plus the local based aircraft.
The CAF B24 has cancelled 🙁 and I was wondering if the CAF will replace with an alternative aircraft?

I love the B24, a pity it’s gone u/s but it’s still a great line up.

Thanks for the replies. Just trying to get some polite conversation going 🙂
Was hoping for the B29 but guess that is a little it greedy 🙂
ATB.

Maybe Hampden was just trying to get some discussion going. I mean it is a forum isn’t it?
Okay, I’ll bite.
The B-24 is part of the CAF’s B-29 and B-24 squadron, based out of Addison, Texas. A great bunch of folks, and really enthusiastic about their aeroplanes. In general, airshow bookings are taken by the individual units themselve, rather than the CAF in general. The other aeroplane they operate, the B-29, is on a cross-country tour this summer, and is due at Pittsburgh the same time as the Hamilton show.

At the risk of stating the obvious, wouldn’t your best route be to either email the CWH directly, or contact them via their Facebook page? https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/CanadianWarplaneHeritageMuseum?fref=ts

Looking on the airshow website, updated yesterday it looks as though nothing is coming from the CAF. However 2, T-28’s have been bumped up from the static to flying status and the RCAF are coming in force with 2 Hercs, a Hawk, Griffon etc. But the B-24 no show (tech problems) is a disappointment.
