Peter--

Thanks for the post. Have sent an email to the Windsor Star. It is very decidedly time to get FM212 under cover. She is the last Lanc pylon-mounted anywhere on Earth; while she looks far, far better these days than in her peach-and-forest-green livery of the 1980s, it's still a mystery to me (and many others) that the city is still holding out on bringing such an historic treasure (worth an absolute fortune, too) in out of the elements. Look what NLS in Nanton have done on what must be a tiny fraction of the resources that could be had in Windsor...

Canuck WIXers...can you even imagine the storm if FM212 (the Lanc right before CWH's on the production line, no less) fell under threat of scrapping at this late date?? Yikes!
