I think peter already answered the who part...

He would then take greatcare in inhibiting the engines etc before she was towed back in to the hangar. He did offer her to a flying museum in canada and a meeting was arranged but noone showed up to meet him. He said that heck would freeze over before they got another chance!
She truly is a time capsule!


...I don't think the ownership has changed. As for the where it is at the airport in Gananoque here in Ontario.

Regards,

Mike
