Hi sat2–
Russell Group Aviation is near Niagara Falls, yes; specifically Mr Russell’s collection, and his airshow the past two years, are at Niagara South Airfield, which is at the junction of the QEW and Sodom Road, so between Niagara Falls and Fort Erie, near Ridgeway.
Vintage Wings of Canada is Michael Potter’s collection and is based at Gatineau Executive Airport, Gatineau, Quebec, across the river from Ottawa.
Both collections do have websites; I don’t recall either URL off the top of my head but Googling them would be a breeze anyway. Both are private collections, not museums; however Vintage Wings does, as has been pointed out previously, host selected flying days during the summer months.
Cheers
S.

What was the venue for this? Somewhere near Niagra I guess? Is there a website?

Dave, very nice piece… one of the most memorable show openers I’ve seen in some time, thanks for re-stoking those memories!
Peter,
This was ‘Kato’s’ spread I created for the airshow souvenir program. He was tragically killed during the Friday practice for the show.
