Michael Ryan has sent us this information - Restored WW2 Spitfire pays tribute to those who flew it including EPA's Captain H.C. "Charlie" Trainor. More information at this web site - gmac99.blogspot.ca/2017/03/restored-ww2-spitfire-pays-tribute-to Thus this information might be considered as a Tribute to all of them. Of course "Charlie" as he preferred to be called, was a proud member of our EPA Family here in Atlantic Canada, flying our B737's in the early years of my employment with the Airline. I will always remember, upon his arrival at the gate to see him most days stroll into the Terminal, smoking his signature "Benson and Hedges" with a friendly greeting to all... and, as he smoked away reminding us with a little smile on his face, "boys, it can't go tell I'm back on-board". This taking place at what is now known as Halifax Stanfield International Airport. Procedures have changed quite a bit for sure... It is to be noted Gerard McCarthy, our local EPA Blogger, deserves the credit for making this information and tribute to Captain Trainor available. Cheers, Mike Ryan - retired EPA/CPAir/Cdn Airlines Employee |

Keith's father was a pilot with CP/Canadian until 1990, his brother was a CP sheet metal mechanic for 20 years, and Keith was in their computer department from 1978 to 1994.. |
