The National Air Force Museum of Canada at 8 Wing Trenton is home to the only Halifax bomber in North America, and the only one of three in the world restored to manufacturer’s specifications. Handley Page built 6,000 of these aircraft during World War II. Many of them never returned from their operations.
Lloyd Wright was a pilot on the Halifax, and takes us on a tour of the pilot’s compartment of this vintage aircraft.

Great Lake Swimmers have long been a word-of-mouth favourite for whom critical mass was inevitable, and they are regarded as a national treasure by the country’s public broadcaster, the CBC.
Great Lake Swimmers performed a free concert on Saturday, June 6, 2009 in Brockville. Bytown Brigantine’s tall ship Fair Jeanne, which provides adventure voyages, served as a floating stage for the concert. This song is from their 2003 album entitled Great Lake Swimmers. Photographer Ian Coristine, who is an old high school friend, invited me to shoot this video while he took photos.
