Welcome from along the St Lawrence in Gananoque. Presume you know about the Canso / PBY here . . .

I didn't realize there was a Canso in Gananoque. I found a number of pictures but it took me about 90 minutes. Finally I googled canso gananoque, and voila. Thanks for the heads up.

My name is John. I am retired and I have a passion for aviation. I find the forum is VERY useful.

Messerschmit Bf 109 E (?) shot down by No 253 Hyderabad Gift squadron over Britain. The wreck (right) finally ended up in a Gulbarga Engineering College (now in Karnataka) and is embroiled in a legal battle over its dubious sale to a British collector.

I have read the history of this aircraft, and I was amazed to see it was recoverd during the 90's. Can anyone provide details of how it managed to stay hidden all that time?
