Robert Arnold, who was heavily involved in the refurbishing of the Viscount at the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada, (royalaviationmuseum.com) has retrieved one of the Rolls Royce decals from that Viscount CF-THS. |

I also have part of a former Air Canada Viscount's forward dorsal fin. When removed during maintenance, it would expose the flexible hot air duct that directed warm air to the tail fin's leading edge. The item in the picture was the part that covered the aircraft's de-icing system that led to the tail and it once belonged to Air Canada Viscount CF-TIE. Robert Arnold |

Shirlee Schacter has sent us this information with several photos - A record number of Central Ontario Pionairs attended the ever-popular Christmas Luncheon held at Lionhead Golf Club in Brampton, Ontario, on Wednesday, December. 5, 2018. This annual event at Lionhead has become a tradition for the Central Ontario District and is the "hottest ticket" on their roster of events. It quickly becomes a "sell-out" - even well before the posted deadline for registrations. The warm and welcoming ambiance that Lionhead provides with its abundance of festive decorations and a sumptuous buffet with all the trimmings never fails to instill the Christmas spirit in all who attend. As usual, in the spirit of the season, Valdy Prieditis, Special Events Chairperson, ensured there was a vast array of door prizes (pictured) as well as special draws including cash $$$ prizes so many lucky ticket-holders had an early visit from Santa this year! Once again, this year's event proved it really is "THE PLACE TO BE"! |
