Warplanes!

One of my favourite local museums is the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, Ontario. So on a dreary Saturday I loaded up six sheets of Kodak Plus-X and headed out. Sadly my favourite plane in their collection, the Avro Lancaster is currently in England and is flying with the other flyable Lancaster. But there was still plenty to see.

Douglas C-47 Dakota - Also of note, this plane, despite it's new markings dropped Canadian Paratroopers before D-Day

Love seeing these old planes, especially the PBY.

I really like B&W for these shots. It fits.

wow, a very ancient object to be used as art and unique photo.

Yes, the B&W really works with these shots. Lots of history right there. I love seeing intact Spitfires.
