summer of 1962, Dorval Airport Montreal in a Vanguard aircraft ready to go
Toronto. Functional “Heavier than Air” machines have been around for about a century and a quarter now making the machines a logical sub category of old photos for collectors.
The pivotal flight was by the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk in 1903. In Canada, our first powered flight was the Silver Dart in 1909 flown by Doug McCurdy in Nova Scotia on Baddeck Bay.
Collectors can attend our 2025 events to add to their collection. Next is our Fall Fair on Sunday, October 16th. While there may or may not be old photos of aircraft available, there will be lots of interesting items to complement any collection. Details of the fair are pinned to the top of this site until later on the 16th. Collectors can also find details (and other interesting articles) in the September PHSC News (issue 25-9).
NB. This post was inspired by the c1958 Italian song, “Volare” sung here in Italian and English by Dean Martin. The actual post title is the same as that of a 2010 British TV series (to my surprise).
