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."

Being one of the first five men hired by C.D. Howe to organize the airline from a Winnipeg office, which had no furniture when Mr. Thomas arrived in 1937, he saw Air Canada through much of its expansion, he had 15 years of reminiscing to do."

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)
