Everyone is welcome to the Fairview Aircraft Restoration Society Fly-In Breakfast at the Fairview Airport - breakfast starts at 8 AM - tours of the Canso will be available. CASARA will be there to explain the importance of search and rescue in the Peace Country.
Special thanks to the Town of Fairview and the MD of Fairview for their help and support for the breakfast.
A special visitor at the breakfast will be a gentleman named Bob Ellis from Vancouver. Bob was stationed in Nova Scotia from 1941-43 during WWII and was present when the first Cansos were delivered, including FNJE. He flew in the Canso often, inluding to Iceland where he was also stationed for a period of time. We look forward to meeting Mr. Ellis at the Fly-In and listen to, and hopefully record, some of his memories of this historic aircraft.
