Cool Pics. What's the story with the saucer? We had on in y town, it was an amusement ride. It was moved to a waterfront lot to be turned into a house but was never finished

was always hoping to be able to buy it one day. So sure enough the park closed and the saucer was up for sale. I told my friend, who lived in Newfoundland, that the saucer could be had and he was hot for it. It was up for auction and he replied to me "but how will we get it from PEI to NFLD"? I replied "you're going to fly it home aren't you". It got sold before he could get his hands on it, every summer he comes over to our cottage close to where the saucer was, and we always spend some time looking for it, but no luck yet. (More beer might help" PS: It spent years and years at "Rainbow Valley" on PEI, millions of tourists were in love with it Last edited by yellowperil; 02-23-2022 at 02:41 PM.. |

Yep. Observer/weapons release station.
CFB Greenwood, near here have a number of asw aircraft around their museum grounds. You will find a Lancaster, Neptune, Argus and a bunch more. Great shots, Dennis. Best Les

None of the 'Saucer' pics show water or hydro in or waste out.
Unique...but not fun to live in.
