Krista Dalby, a local artist, has just posted about a quarterly networking event called Creative Rural Minds - the Loch Sloy Edition. Worth checking out.
Then there was the astonishing Facebook post this morning, about a 92 year old former Air Transport Auxiliary veteran who had a chance to relive her wartime experiences and fly a Spitfire. Made me think of Camp Picton's role in the Commonwealth Air Training Plan during WWII.
I did a post back in January 19 titled Camp Life, about Camp Picton and Loch Sloy.

Do know that when a couple I interviewed recently told me about Elinor Florence's blog Wartime Wednesdays, I was in. The story that hooked me was the author's account of living in a surplussed DND prairie aerodrome building, as a child. Here's yet another link, to her post.

The photos of the Lancaster were taken at Hamilton's Warplane Heritage Museum a few years ago, when Denis realized a childhood dream and took a flight on a Lancaster Bomber. Here's a neat account of the museum's Lanc story.
It's a terrific spot to get up close and personal with military aircraft. As is Trenton's RCAF Museum.
