Hi Lee,
Thanks very much for you time and effort, I really
appreciate it.
Cheers

: Having some trouble finding some of the papers the DND sen
: t me about ex-RCAF material etc(finding and selling of it)
: . As well I have finished the booklet on RCAF Operational
: Records Books. The DND sent me a hard copy of this documen
: t years ago and decided to enter the 21st century and conv
: ert it to a universal PDF. I should have these documents o
: n my MSN site on Tuesday. Just found these files on my har
: d drive at 2 am this morning!
:
: As well I was asking around about exporting goodies out of
: the Country. I recalled a recent joke/scandal that just r
: ecently unfolded over the winter. It involves a Puss Moth
: that was here in Canada and the owner was trying to sell t
: he aircraft. It appears the owner (not entirely sure) appl
: ied with Heritage Canada and who in turned contacted the m
: useum that I work at. This individual, who remains to be u
: nnamed, signed off on a document that cleared the export o
: f a Puss Moth to England, all this with NO knowledge about
: aircraft let alone any research on the history of it. Her
: itage Canada (who NEVER contacted the Toronto Aerospace Mu
: seum) then cleared the item for export. As for the Bollies
: you were interested in, you may have to apply with Herita
: ge Canada and then in turn will review the application for
: export. They may contact a local museum official to overs
: ee the historical value of the object. With so many of the
: se things kicking around they have some, but little value.
: That is if the CWM keeps torching them!
:
: I will post a follow up on Tuesday. As well I will keep yo
: u posted on any info on Exports. Speaking with some of the
: se people this week in hopes of not letting the same thing
: happen again with respects to the Puss Moth scandal.
