National Air Force Museum Trenton Updates

Mainly the rusting steel fasteners nothing a couple of hours couldnt fix..

Yes it would appear that lack of drainage seems to be an issue on those panels for sure….

Thanks Andrew. Interestingly I found out the reason why the Voodoos always have rust running from the side panels… It is because the Dzeus fasteners rust and the water which collects inside the panel runs out the bottem.

Sorry Peter I didn’t drop by the Cadet Voodoo for a close up inspection this time …..but I did note that she was still parked in the same place as before…

I was hoping to take a picture or two of the CC-177s that were parked on base but they were outa camera range…

Andrew

Just thought I would share a few pictures taken last Friday of the Halifax now that the floor in the hangar has been completed and the area is open to visitors again…

Great indoor shots!

Any news on the Cadet Voodoo?

And a few last ones of their Voodoo….

Thanks for the Voodoo pics Andrew!

At least some kind soul has closed and secured her ground power door!

How open is Vince to having visitors tour his colllection/farm these days?

Yes always too bad to see stuff like that, but you know what, hey it is still a Voodoo piece, and be surprised what some time and money can do, would be a great cockpit display, also I was there a few years back with Vince and a group wanted to buy is almost complete airframe for an underwater dive wreck! Vince didn t think too much of that.

Thanks for posting the pictures of the two Voodoo’s at the O’Connor Farm….they do indeed seem pretty rough but perhaps they could be a source of hard to find parts still…

Andrew..

Thats just nasty…. Would need a ton of work before I could put all my parts inside it!

Another VooDoo hulk, has been used for movie work, but pretty much trashed.

Hey we could all chip in and give her a home!

Peter are you looking to adopt # 101046? 😀

Andrew

Will she be moved to the museum site or will she be disposed of?

Mike,

Have you seen any repairs to # 101046 in recent years?

Andrew

I don’t recall seeing an repairs.

Fairley recent….

That Voodoo at Mr. O Conner looks quite interesting….is that a recent photograph of it…?

Andrew

Lindsey VooDoo long gone, used to see it up hwy 35 on way to cottage, Vince Oconnor has a hulk at his place, needs some TLC for sure.

If it was only a bit smaller and easier to manage I would tackle that as it is a place to put my instrument panel and parts!
