| LYNN GARRISON ort-au-Prince, CA | Mosquito RS-700, ex CF-HMS does not belong to the City of Calgary. My ex-wife and I purchased this from Spartan Air Services, via Jim Lipinsky, of that company. DeHavilland Canada took it apart for me. Their crew was led by William Duck. The CPR brounght it to Calgary where Shell was kind enough to store it for me.
I flew with 403 City of Calgary Squadron, RCAF, for 10 years. The Hurricane that crashed in the UK was one of my aircraft. When I was out of the country Peter D. Norman, who claimed to control the aircraft, got rid of one of my Hurricanes and a Spitfire Vb I purchased in England during 1963. Ex-403 City of Calgary Squadron ilot Tony Lansdowne, in England, purchased the aircraft from the government there. urnace and Whithey brought it to Vancouver for me. The CNR brought it to Calgary Peter Norman sent it to a guy by the name of Campbell in Ontario. I had problems tracing this aircraft since our documents originally applied to the wrong aircraft - BM-597. This Spitfire is now in the collection of Microsoft's co-founder in Seattle. Peter D. Norman staged a palace coup to grab the Air Museum of Canada, when I was out of the country coordinating an aviation film project, believing the aircraft belonged to the museum. All aircraft were purchased before the Air Museum of Canada's incorporation in April, 1964. Nothing was transferred to the entity. Peter D. Norman only managed to gain custody of several boxes containing papers, including my daughter's first school report card. I owned and opperated a War One aviation collection on an Irish airfield. Blue Max Aviation. My aircraft appeared in The Blue Max, You Can't Win 'Em All, Darling Lilli, Zeppelin, Richthofen & Brown, plus a load of TV shows. I collected some 30 aircraft for the Calgary display. Few are left. What did Peter D. Norman do with these. We lost a Mustang that I left as a display in front of the flag pole in Lincoln Park. I am advised, by my legal counsel, that Norman is guilty of Theft by Conversion, at the very least. The City of Calgary cannot be trusted with these displays. During 1993-1994 I learned that they were trying to sell my Lancaster FM-136 to the Confederate Air Force. The legal action I launched was the one that proved Norman, and his friends, gained control of some documents... AND NO CONTROL OF THE DISPLAYS!!! I purchased two Lancasters, FM-136 and KB-976. 976 is now in Kermit Weeks collection in Florida. It should have stayed in Calgary but people get greedy. My T-33, 21001 was never collected by Peter D. Norman, and his friends. It now sits on a pole in Edmonton. It is disgusting. I provided a balanced base for a great collection and these jerks continue to play games.

| Allen Hein Houston, TX | I believe that if a museum, such as the Nanton Lancaster Society, would ask for support to purchase the subject aircraft, funds would be made available by Canadian aviation enthusiasts. It would be a shame to loose yet another piece of Canadian Aviation Heritage.
WHat is needed is someone with the ambition to start the process to secure pledges for the project. Is ther anyone out there? 05/03/2008 @ 19:39 [ref: 20787] |

| Tim Miller Red Deer, AB | The Calgary Aerospace Museum needs to do a much better job of being a Museum if there is to be any hope of holding on the any of the artifacts in their possession. The Museum seems to have little interest in promoting the Museum beyond the City of Calgary. The Website that the Museum currently has says a lot about the state of affairs. Unless something changes it is only a matter of time until the monetary value of the Museum's assets outweigh the interest and anything of significance will be considered "for sale". Calgary is not alone ! 01/24/2008 @ 20:44 [ref: 19421] |
| Monty , QC | This story was aired on Newsworld (Thurs jan 24/08)
I have no objection to sale to collectors or other museums (Nanton for example) where they can be restored, but such historic and heritage artifacts should be not be sold out of the country. After all, Canada built Mossies, Hurricanes, Lancasters and much much more..BUT there are precious few enough examples left of this country's ENORMOUS contribution to the war effort in so many areas, and young Cdns are now barely aware of our proud and honourable contribution to the defeat of tyranny. I have sent an email to the City to indicate my strong objection to the potential sale of such historic aircraft (Mossie and Hurricane) out of Canada. You may wish to consider doing the same. cheers Monty 01/24/2008 @ 17:45 [ref: 19418] |
| peter whitfield , ON | This is sad news. If the Mosquito goes back to England Aerospace is doing a disservice to the two lads that were killed at Clagary in LR503! They had a great chance of having her rebuilt to represent LR503 F Freddie. 01/23/2008 @ 10:22 [ref: 19407] |
| Greg Morrison Nanton, AB | To update readers, the Mossie in Calgary is the property of the City, NOT the Aerospace Museum and they are in fact dealing with another British party to trasnfer the aircraft to England. This has to be stopped! Many of you are not doubt aware of the recent fatal Hurricane crash in England, this aircraft was also a CANADIAN aircraft stolen from this country and looked what happened to it! The Mossie is now residing in a City of Calgary storage yard along with the Hurricane. Both of these aircraft should go to a museum worthy of caring and displaying them, such as the Nanton Lancaster Society. 12/04/2007 @ 22:55 [ref: 18798] |
| Bob Luckwell Christchurch, OTH | I live in on the south coast of England near Holmsley airfield in the New Forest.
418 SQ RCAF flying Mosquito,s were based there and I would be interested to see any photo\'s from their time at Holmsley as almost all the site was cleared in the 1960,s, and very little info exists from this important time. Thanks 09/20/2007 @ 05:12 [ref: 17972] |
