dear Lancaster

my dad sailed on the bona venture ... canada's one and only ground breaking
and world s most technologically advanced air craft carrier
he tried to make super 8 movie of the Lancaster landing on the hardwood
deck ...
alas with out gimble tripod he shot the sky and the deck as the ship
pitched and rolled ...

I still have the reels of produced film ... one year I gave him a VHS
cassette of the event
he liked that ... interestingly it would have been his birthday yesterday
... but he has been gone for more than 11 years already

two other points of interest about Canadian military / industrial histor
