Looks like a Sopwith Snipe.

There is an irritating similarity with another incident, same location, same number of fatalities:
“The Dyatlov Pass incident refers to an event that resulted in the deaths of nine ski hikers in the northern Ural mountains on the night of February 2, 1959.” :confused:

Nice beer – has been out for some years now. It was brewed to celebrate Peter (?) Arkell’s
action as a Lysander pilot.

I don’t know for sure but I understood work was being done to get this building some form of heritage protection.
Next time I am talking to my counterpart in Toronto I will do my best to remember to ask.

Good news!

Thanks.
You can find him in Salzburg (with story and photos)

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!

Thanks to all for looking and contributing.
