Airport wanderings

Spent the morning helping out the Canso Boys with the Airport open house.

Nicks restored CMP!

This is Grants work in progress a CMP

Next is the prototype for the CMP. It was designed somewhere around 1937/38 then the finished style is just like Nicks.

 Nicks is a good example of a finished one and very well done!

CMP is Canadian military Pattern. 

Ford and GM made about 400,000 of these GM had a 216 cu in Chev 6 and the Ford had a 239 Flathead. Same exterior style,all are Left Hand Drive? Europe is RH drive.Go Figure.

The Canso is servicable and has a very Keen group of fellows keeping it going.

Couple of old photos.

These were taken by a friend about 30 years ago.

VW show.

We all had VW's years ago and my son and I still have one.
Lots of fun today.
Lots of split window vans, from nice to beat up to beautiful.
