    Blue Skies Mr. Hall

    Although I never had the pleasure of meeting the man, his work has long been educational and inspirational to me.

    Thanks for the post Richard.

    I seem to remember an airframe hanging in the terminal in Auckland (thinking back about 10 years)… just wish I could remember where I put the photos

    I will add this one ‘people’ shot – a bit of our aerobatic team heritage here… Left to right, Dan Dempsey (Snowbird 9 – 1980-81, Snowbird 1 – 1989-90), Fern Villeneuve (Golden Hawks Lead 1959, 1960), and Joe Schultz (Solo – Blue Devils 1949)

    Would be great to name this flight officially! Excellent pics BTW

    Ah… but Dave’s 5th Pic (4-ship formation) does have a name – that’s the Vintage Wings of Canada ‘Victory Flight’

    (and yes I was beaten to this as well – most of mine are on Facebook or Air Show Buzz)

    But I shot a lot of static and ground movements.

    thanks everyone for your input. It would certainly be great to put a face to the name – specially since the folks I’ve spoken to at the local Royal Canadian Legion Branch would love to acknowledge his deeds. Unfortunately due to our press deadlines, further research is cost and time prohibitive, but I have managed to get a shot of his marker included in the book.

    For general interest sake, I’ve attached pics of the plaque dedicated by his brother in 1935, the family marker and one of R.A.’s stone after I did some cutting/digging and cleaning (all here in Iroquois). It is certainly a shame that no further information regarding him is preserved around the area, as so much of the local industry and population was disturbed/relocated/erased during the St. Lawrence Seaway project in the during the late ’50s.

    Arn’t those the same illustrations that you seen on Classic Airframes model kits boxes? If not they are very similar.

    The very same – even mentions CA box use beneath the pics.
