Hi Charles,

I also read the article in the paper on the weekend about Popper's Spitfire SL721 returning to Air. Great news!

I took a drive to the airport on Monday and I am curious to
the whereabouts of his aircraft. I have heard that he stores them in the Hangars near the Ottawa Flying Club next to Nav Canada. I couldn't see any activity so I thought you might have an idea?

Any thoughts?

Andrew
