Hi Mike,

First to answer about the press, the Toronto Star ran a story about this aircraft also I recall the paper up in NB did a number of stories about this and some other wrecks.

My whole problem is that your national gov. has one policy and the local Prov. have their own. I remember when Tom Reilly try to recover the B-24 from Quebec. I told him it would have been alot easier if he had just let me and some of my friends cross the border pick it up and bring it down through the woods here in Maine. Hell I know more ways to cross the border then are listed.

Now as for RCAF/RCNAF use of B-17 I do'nt know were you got your info. but according to Roger Freemans book on B-17 the only users of E and F were the USAAF,RAF it is possiable that the RCAF might have had RAF birds lent to them but they were never assign a RCAF number.

I think the easiest way out of this whole mess is to check into what NAFTA has in it their has to be some claus it has everything else.

Cheers Rob (from Maine)
