Hi all--
Another super Stude day last Saturday...the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association hosted a family fun day/car show at their base at the Tillsonburg, Ontario, airport. The weather on the day was changeable to say the very least; I got caught on Hwy#3 en route through the town of Courtland by a rain squall so intense I had to pull off and park because I couldn't see where I was going...but there were also intervals of blazing sunshine. A very good time was had by all and I think this is another car event at an airport (along with the show at CWH a few weeks back) that will probably become an annual thing. Here are some pix...
Soon after arrival, my Lark with a fifties Ford brewery truck
84 Avanti, new to me (but I did already know the owners)
Nifty NASCAResque Meteor
'49 Hudson
Here come the Model Ts...The local Model T club turned out in remarkable force (despite the changeable weather and the toplessness of some of the cars!); ultimately there were no fewer than 22 "Tin Lizzies" on site, all parked in a row
Here's how one enterprising Model T owner prepared a hot lunch en route!
Model T speedster arrives
Quite the T party, eh!
Wild rat rod and beautiful stock late-20s McLaughlin coach
Beautiful 53 Starlight rod
My Lark again with two of CHAA's planes, a Yale (left) and a Harvard (right)
Four of CHAA's Harvards pitch out for landing...the group's Harvards were often airborne (between showers!)
I'd heard the Russell Group might be sending one or more of their aircraft to the show, but doubted they'd turn up once I drove through that squall in the morning. How nice to be wrong. Ed Russell's Hawker Hurricane, C-FDNL "Little Willie", taxis in...
...followed by this. Supermarine Spitfire IXe C-FFLC "Mad Mickey". Note the angry-looking Mickey Mouse rendering on the cowl. Mickey's out of sorts because it was a lawsuit against Disney that provided Mr Russell with enough coin to acquire these glorious warbirds. (BTW, Mr Russell also owns a Daimler-Benz-engined Messerschmitt 109E...)
