An update from member George McKenzie ( Brownvale, AB )
George McKenzie, a long time SCMAFC member ( since 1996 ). I bought my AR in 1955, helped start the Pioneer club in 1958, got #5 license on it. A small group tried to start a model A Ford club at that time but I had to go home to Brownvale as we had a big farm so don't know what happened to it.I do remember that a lady from Mount Royal brought a 1930 Cabriolet with only 1500 miles on it, she wanted $150. It shone like new.
This tractor in the photo is the only bomb hauler left in the world. It will haul 15 wagons or "trolleys" of bombs at up to 30 miles an hour .It was mainly driven by women. A group here just restored a CANSO water bomber that Buffalo Joe crashed in a lake near Inuvik .The one you talked about at the January meeting was at our air show.
Sorry I missed the meeting as my brother passed away. He ran every CIBC bank in Calgary, made a lot of millionaires, some of you might have known Don McKenzie. I started to go to the model A meetings several times but things didn't work out . Got my 1930 Fordor restored, if you are older than 50 years don't try one you will never live long enough to drive it! I had a $60,000 Army motorcycle, my friend had a Bren carrier, like new and a crew cab 1947 4x4 truck burn up this week in his garage.
Cheers, George
