Hi Andrew--

CF-RNR went from the Regal Constellation Hotel (which BTW had that name long before the Connie arrived) over to the GA entrance to Pearson airport on Derry Road; there she became the Super Connie bar, but after a year or so that venture folded and CF-RNR was put up for sale. A proposed purchase by the MoF in Seattle did indeed fall through. Subsequently there was a vague rumour about "a new museum in Toronto" being interested in the Connie, which was the last news I heard on CF-RNR. Last time I was on that side of Pearson airport the Connie was still there and looked quite decent despite being semi-abandoned...I too very much hope she does not get the chop.
