Captions from St. Thomas Times-Journal: "Vampire Jet Plane Thrills Crowd at Aylmer; School to Be Busy Place This Summer." "National Air Force Day at Aylmer School." 1_2533: "One of the many attractions in the airmen's lounge, where personnel of the Aylmer Air Station displayed their handiwork in a hobby show at the National Air Force Day, Saturday, was the model house, built to one-eighth inch scale. Other exhibits included metal work, cabinet making, leather tooling, plastic work and toy making." 1_2534: "Anne Montgomery, 13-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Montgomery, Fairview avenue, Yarmouth Heights, was keenly interested in the fighting and training planes on exhibition at the Aylmer Air Station, Saturday, when National Air Force Day was observed. Anne very recently made her solo flight at the civic airport, Yarmouth Centre, and is believed to be the youngest girl pilot in Ontario. She attended the open house at Aylmer with her father and brother, Marshall (Sonny) Montgomery Jr., who has also made solo flights and qualified for civilian pilot papers. Anne is shown inspecting one of the planes on display in No. 5 hangar." 1_2535: "The exhibition of Second World War fighting craft in No. 5 hanger at the Aylmer Air Station held a special appeal for the children, Saturday afternoon, during the observance of National Air Day. Hundreds availed themselves of the opportunity to "explore" the bombers and fighters. One group was photographed as the youngsters were climbing over a German Messerschmidt."

THR OTHER HALF - Operating a modern
beef farm is only half of the work of Thomas
Lawrence, of Eden. He is also a partner in the
Hicks and Lawrence Ltd. firm, which operates
the St. Thomas Municipal Airport and an air
spraying business. While Mervin Hicks concen-
trates on the flying and Mr. Lawrence on the
cattle end, he does quite a bit of spraying. In
the above photo he is seen on one of the spe-
cialized aircraft used for spraying. (T-J

Although it serves as a training aircraft, the Buffalo's main role is as a tactical transport, hauling both personnel and cargo. The aircraft normally carries a crew of four and boasts a gross flying weight of more than 20 tons. Despite its size, the aircraft landed and took off from the local airport with ease."
