…not Edmonton or Essendon, but…
Thanks – love to read the dialogue between Mark and Tom –
great to see people fighting against the long term demolition or better said for a sustainable protection of vintage airports and aviation terminals and hangars.
Wonder if there are also people in Toronto trying to protect the remaining Hangar 1 located at the north-east end of the former Toronto Island Airport – now called Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.
So far only the old wooden terminal built in 1938-9 is classified a National Historic Site of Canada – but the old Hangar 1 built 1937-9 is not protected.
Don’t know what happened if Porter tries to built even more new terminal buildings like in 2009-10 or if some of proposed plans to ‘develop’ these area will become true.
Guess it is high time to fight for a proper protection of this classic brick building with its famous 1930-40 style of construction. Hope it will survive!
