Lee is correct. There are rules around age and time of an artifact in the country (and its heritage status) that determine if an artifact should remain in the country, if it should first be offered to a Canada organization or if it can be exported. The rule exists to stop the flow of Canadian artifacts from the country.

I think what Peter eluded to is the controlled goods program, export and import controls. This can stop something military from being exported but in the case of a Boly cockpit, highly unlikely. The program is basically geared at goods that can support military equipment that is still in use or goods that may pose a threat to Canada and friendly nations. Even it for some strange reason it is seen as a controlled good, it still can be exported if it meets the controlled goods criteria for export and it is exported by some who is registered with the controlled goods program.

To date, I've never had problems exporting. There are a few hoops to jump through but nothing too difficult. Just make sure you dot all you i's and cross your t's and it should be relatively painless.....until you pay the shipping!

As for recoveries in Canada....that's another can of worms!

Good luck!
