'There was an item on "This Morning" on CBC Radio One on Thursday about the province of New Brunswick retiring its fleet of Avengers. At one time, they had 30 of them but are down to the last half dozen and this is their last season. They've been used for both spruce bud worm spraying and forest fire fighting. Some of those that have already been withdrawn from use have been sold to museums and there's been interest in the remaining flyable examples. They're based in Miramichi, so if anyone wants to see them before they're gone, that's where to go. They're being replaced by Air Tractors.'
