Gord Lowe is an idiot. I'm glad the city found some bucks to restore these old warbirds.
Quote:
With the city’s commitment of $800,000, the restoration of two Second World War-era aircraft is set for take-off.
Though the Calgary Mosquito Society has raised only $32,000, it won the bid from the city on late Wednesday to restore the De Havilland Mosquito fighter-bomber and Hawker Hurricane fighter.
The city will now put up the matching funds that should see work begin in late January on the two aero-relics, said group president Richard de Boer.
