- Three black and white photographs used in St. Thomas Times-Journal article published May 11, 1974 with captions:
- "Wing Assembly - The wing spars and finished tail assembly for a two-seater, homebuilt, single-wing airplane are displayed here by Don McKenzie, in his workshop just east of St. Thomas. The plan is being built from a design of his own creation. Although Don is a pilot, the homebuilt aircraft is strictly a hobby to occupy his spare time, consequently he has been at it for about seven years. Don doesn't think it will be finished for at least three more years." (1a)
- "Examining Fuselage - Checking the front section of a homebuilt aircraft which is called Headwind and built from plans purchased several years ago for $9.50, is Ken Jones, a member of the EAAC who hopes to have the airplane flying later this summer. This open-cockpit, single-wing plane will be powered by a modified Volkswagen engine. Another EAAC member, Reg Miller of St. Thomas is building the wings for the Headwind." (1b)
- "Varnishing Wing - Pictured here beside the top wing of a Fleet Model 7 biplane is Pete Bouthoorn, a dairy farmer just north of Belmont who is currently working on his fourth aircraft. The fabric-covered frame is being varnished, which, in effect, tightens the fabric over the spars. Pete is a member of the Experimental Aircraft Association of Canada, though technically this plane is not a homebuilt but an antique undergoing complete restoration." (1c)
