A magical event saw the Vintage Wings of Canada, Russell Broup, and Canadian Warplane Heritage team up at the VWOC open house in Gatineau Quebec.
In addition to the roll out of Hawk 1 a Sabre 5 to be painted in the Golden Hawk colour sceme we saw the Lanacaster fly by with two Spits, and two Hurricanes.
The VWOC Victory flight consisting of Mustang 4, Corsair, Sptfire XVI, Hurricane Mk4.
Also flights by the Johnny Livingstone 1929 Tapperwing, Staggerwing, a three plane formation of lovely silver Swifts.
The CWH Canso was also on static along with a flying display by the Canadian Harvard Association Aerobatic team.

I shot these the day before while they were arming the Corsair with rockets, which were removd before she flew on Saturday.
