Vintage Wardair & CP Air B747 & Plus One Models

Post by Skythings »

My collection of vintage aircraft models over the past year has grown with a couple of extraordinary and rare models. Something for the older guys and gals who recall a different time in aviation around Canada. Circa 1970 - 1985.

I worked for Worldways for many years, in the C640/B707/DC-8-63 days, we did some of our maintenance in Wardair's hangar, so I got pretty familiar with their operation too (as well as being a satisfied passenger from time to time). Decades later, upon the passing of Roy Moore, owner of the the former Worldways, I was asked by his wife Joan to give a eulogy at his funeral. Following my words, Max Ward appeared from the audience unexpectedly, and asked to also speak. I was pretty honoured to be sharing airline stories with Mr. Ward!
