the people

While official statistics were not available during the preparation of this feature, casual observations and comments were offered to this writer by a few show officials. According to one show official, approximately 400 models were entered, while another was quoted as saying by his count, there were 450 entries. These two also estimated that there were between 150 and 175 entrants. Speculation as to the number of visitors that attended the show weren’t available. However, this writer observed that the two normal parking lots used for the show were insufficient for the attending crowds. The CWHM had to use their extensive tarmac in front of their hangars to accommodate the overflow. It was also suggested that perhaps this was a reflection of the relatively decent weather that day, as opposed to the messy days they’d seen in previous years.

CWHM’s uk tour

Of particular interest to those interested in military modelling is the fact that he Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum were pleased to announce that they will be flying their prized Avro Lancaster to England this August for a month long visit. The Lancaster will join the only other airworthy Lancaster in the world, owned and operated by the Royal Air Force's renowned Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF), and participate in several events and activities while overseas. Further information about the tour can be found at CWHM Lancaster UK Tour.

My thanks to the various members of the show for assisting in the preparation of this feature.
