Default Canada Day Cars & Planes

Went to the show and took some pics, This was in Dunnville, Ontario, it used to be a WWII training center, for Canadian pilots. Then it became an airport and now is also home to the RCAF historical museum. Only had just over 100 cars all classes very nice selection, about 10 vettes. BTW I did get one of the awards for the best 10 overall pics for my 64.

Thanks for posting the pics, looks like it was a fun event with some cool cars and planes.
I drove mine in a Canada Day parade in a local town, after the parade they had the cars in a park by a lake, and then a nice lunch sponsored by the local legion. Sorry no pics, camera is in the shop.

Thanks for sharing these pics. Looks like it was a great day, lots of nice toys. This is one of the nicest color combos I've seen. Very classy.

Very nice pics. Thank you! My 1974 is grounded (bad pun) by a faulty fuel pump and I did not get out on July 1.

Great pictures!
Congratulations on your win.

Week ago Saturday we had the opportunity get our 79 Z28 in a picture with a B25 along with a few other Gateway Camaro club members.

I can relate Paul. My '62 began making a loud knocking noise as I arrived at the pre parade parking area, I was about 40 miles from my house. I lifted the hood to try and see what was causing it, and of course a bunch of the other car owners gathered around. It was coming from the front of the engine, one fellow said "I'm a mechanic, that's my TR6 over there, disconnect the fan belt and we'll see if it's from your pump or damper". I explained that I had the tools, but no pry bar to re-tighten the belt after? He said no problem, and called someone on his cell. Literally five minutes later, a kid shows up in a Toyota with a big pry bar.

My new from last year reproduction "609" pump was the source, fan wobble by the time I got home. Guess what I'm doing on this gorgeous sunny Sunday?

Pretty cool lookin' tow truck.

Were the planes "fly-ins"?
or where the static displays rolled in for the show?

Most of those planes fly and did all day, 3 of the Harvards flew formation at one time. We have another museum near us at Hamilton which has alot of heritage planes and fly as well including a few Corsairs and a working Lancaster bomber, which I think is 1 of only 2 left in the world, still flying.

Thanks for posting those great pictures.

Just one clarification........ Dunnville was part of the BCATP and trained pilots from all the commonwealth countries and the USA.....not just Canadians......
