Aeroplanes


The hangar, looking east.


Demarcation between the factory floor and the canteen.


Doorjamb.


Instrumented blading, c.1952


Joe L., c.1950. Today Joe is retired and volunteers in the library.

I spend some of my time working in the library at the Toronto Aerospace Museum. The museum is inside what used to be the first de Havilland factory in Canada. There are some nice pictures from our collection here. The place is a warren of unexplored storage spaces and cabinets overflowing with - everything: instruments, tools, negatives, maps, technical drawings, ephemera, and on and on.
