Nice shots Siddeley Hawker. They look like contemporary times, not something from the archives?

You sure about that? LOL, wait until fall.... This is the exact spot you're parked in, long before all the camps started when we were doing the front end layout and environmental work for the project. Was living on a boat that week.

These Fire Boss water bombers came from Lac Labiche, AB to fight a big fire near Chapleau, ON a couple of weeks ago. I was without hydro for 4 days because of that blaze. :x

The five blade mixmasters on the business end were impressive.
