Hi Andrew--

Was at YYZ about three weeks ago and C-54s C-GDWZ and C-GQIA were still parked nose to nose in front of the old three-bay Millard hangar. Without a tele lens of substantial length it would be rather difficult to get a photo of them though. Also at the GA entrance is still Constellation CF-RNR, the ex-Super Connie Restaurant, fenced off and looking a bit forlorn.

FYI, last time I was at Brantford there was still Millard C-54 C-GFMQ plus about two thirds of C-GFFQ (butchered some time ago so the nose could be used in a movie), sitting on a disused, fenced-off section of the ramp behind Gilbert Aircraft. An engineless Millard C-117 was there as well. Gateway Airlines fly two ex-Millard C-117s from Brantford, or at least they did as of a year or so ago...
