Ex N1608Q. Unsure when it was imported into Canada (records seem to indicate it went in and out at least twice)

Displayed outside the Avro Arrow museum. Was moved here when the aviation museum at Downsview Airport closed a number of years ago. Any info help is appreciated!

This 1946 Stinson 108-1, CF-QMR, was imported to Canada in 1971 and was based in the Northwest Territories and Alberta until acquired by Sharon Swarts in Orangeville, Ontario in November 1990. It was still owned by the same family in 2024 and based at Brampton Caledon Airport. It was seen at the 2006 Gathering of the Classics at Edenvale. This event started at Collingwood Airport but moved to Edenvale c2005 after the wartime RCAF airport re-opened after 43 years in 2002.

This is the last Tracker to leave the production line at Toronto Downsview Airport for the Royal Canadian Navy, #99. It wore the registration mark "1600" when in the Navy. Was briefly moved to the civilian register as C-FUDQ from April 1996 until cancelled in May 1998, but continued to display 1600 for historical/display purposes. For a long time, this aircraft was displayed in the Canadian Air & Space museum at the Toronto Downsview airport, but when it closed in 2011, the aircraft was stored in a variety of places before finding their new forever home on display at the Edenvale Aerodrome.

This Piaggio P.139L-1 was assembled by Trecker Aircraft in Milwaukee and sold to Canada as CF-IZG in about 1957. Some sources say it became CF-PQD, possibly owned by the Quebec Gov't Lands & Forests Dept. To Oregon as N100W in 1966. To California as N1005P in 1973-1977. Crashed on takeoff from a lake near Stockton, CA on Oct 22, 1977. Wreck of N1005P next seen 32 years later north of Toronto, ON at Collingwood Airport (CNY3) in 2007 and Edenvale (CNV8) in 2008. Later sold (with amphibian behind) to the Barrie Paintball range located 20 km SW of Edenvale (at 8200 10th Line, Barrie, ON).

This DH 82C Tiger Moth was build by DHC at Downsview, Ontario and Taken on strength by the 28 March 1942 as RCAF 3932 and assigned to No. 1 EFTS at Malton (today's YYZ). It had 2024:50 hrs TT when and sold post-war to the Royal Canadian Flying Club Association as CF-CKF. It was acquired by DH collector W.T. "Watt" Martin of Milton and later Grand Valley, ON on 29 April 1966. In Nov. 2017 was transferred to Donald Martin, Watt's son. The Gathering of the Classics fly-in moved from Collingwood (CNY3) to Edenvale (CNV8) after the wartime RCAF airfield was reactivated by Milan Kroupa Sr. in 2004.
