CL44-The Way Forward-and Thanks
The Officers and members of the 190-strong Canadair Forty Four Association can now indeed announce that thanks to Heavylift Cargo Airlines and its MD Mr Nicholas Leach, it is empowered to seek and secure a future for the unique Conroy Guppy (C/N 16).
The Association would be delighted to hear from any Aviation Museum that is able to add the Guppy to its established collection.
We are able to offer unequalled technical support to any project, from engineering to logistical and to any subsequent promotion and marketing.
Additionally, the Association has within its remit, a similar role with regard to the Shorts Belfast at Southend.
As with most other projects of a similar nature, time is of some significance and it is hoped that an early solution can be found ensuring the future of these two awesome aircraft.
The CL44 Association also announces that a professionally-produced DVD of the 44 will be released later this year. The Association's website will contain details in due course.
Places at this years re union at the Royal Air Force Club, London are still available for BOTH nights. However, due to the already-high demand, rooms at the Club are in short supply. Nearby HOTAC in Piccadilly, is available however-(within MSD-Minimum staggering distance)
