Vulcanicity Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Just stumbled across this video from CBC in 1966 saluting the last flying Supermarine Stranraer (of course now preserved at Hendon) - as a Stranraer devotee I was thrilled to find the only footage I have ever seen of the machine flying, together with some wonderful reminiscences from postwar west coast Canadain bush pilots - the annecdote near the end about winding up USAF F-86 jocks in particular is hilarious. Enjoy! 9 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B (Sc) Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Fascinating, thanks - and what an unusual pronunciation of Stranraer ; the residents of the town wouldn't recognise it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
