PRESS RELEASE from Don McVicar, Ad Astra Books, July 28/96:
Planning begins to build an aviation museum hangar at Dorval
Airport. The site is under discussion, but one possibility
is near my (World-Wide Airways) old hangar, which is now
called the Westwood Sports Complex.
The museum will mainly contain aircraft flown from the airport
by the Royal Air Force Ferry Command during World War Two.
The following types are copied from my certified flying log book.
-1- Lockheed 414 A-28 "Hudson"
-2- Lockheed-Vega B-34/PV-1 "Ventura"
-3 - Noordyne Norseman
-4- Boeing B-17 "Flying Fortress"
-5- Consolidated B-24 "Liberator"
-6- Consolidated PBY5A "Catalina"
-7- Douglas A-20 "Boston"
-8- Douglas C-47 "Dakota"
-9- Douglas C-54 "Skymaster"
-10- Handley-Page Hampden
-11- North American B25 "Mitchell"
-12- deHavilland Mosquito
-13- Martin B-26 "Marauder"
-14- Martin A-30 "Baltimore"

The project will require close cooperation and assistance from
the Canadian and Quebec governments, the City of Dorval and
Aeroportes de Montreal, as well as aviation industry companies
and private individuals.
