I was wondering if anyone out there could help me with some research I am doing into Camp Borden and the JN4 Jenny.I am planning a 1/16th diorama of one of the hangars there with figures and airplane inside. I am especially interested in the hangars interior.Rod Filans recent thread has a picture that shows the interior but not being a computer whiz I dont know how to enlarge it.Could someone enlarge it and post it here? I dont even know if this is possible? Thanks Cheers! John. ???

John,
Images on the www are compressed and enlarging will only deteriorate the clarity. You get similar results from pressing your nose up to the monitor.  hehePhoto gallery of exterior photos: http://www.airforce.forces.ca/16wing/photo...ry_e.asp?cat=60 I do suggest you contact DND. They may be kind enough to help you out. Start at: http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive...3/29/c5994.html It includes a fact sheet summary of the hangers and the contact person (comm. officer) at CFB Borden. Good Luck and let us know how things progress. VBR Rod

My mistake... its not the Communications Officer at CFB Borden but at Heritage Canada.

JohnReid:
After my Father Lt.Col. Harry W. Abbott's contract expired with the Chinese Republic, he left the South China Air Service and we moved to Hong Kong. He found out that a Canadian built Curtiss JN4C remains were in a Godown (warehouse) that was owned by a Mr. Lim On After he was discharged from the RCAF he purchased one of there machines and shipped to Hong Kong. he then manage turn into a pile of trash in a basketball court in Hong Kong. Two years later my Father came along and bought the Curtiss JN4C for $2000 HK as is. In a matter of two weeks he rebuilt the Jenny. He then acquired a contract with the Southern China Cigarette Company to advertise their cigarettes. He painted a Chinese Girl blowing smoke rings which said inclosed in the smoke rings, in chinese, "Smoke South China Cigarettes". I referred to this Jenny as the "Pink Lady". His airfield which he called Kowloon Aviation Field, later became Kai-Tak. Blue skies, Dan-San |
