Are there any updates/updated info on the Halifax recovery and restoration? http://www.57rescuecanada.com/ There hasn't been an update in 2 years. Any info out there?

If you click on the Progress reports button, right under the rotating "N" "E" "W" sign, you'll see that there have been regular reports over the last few years. If you sign up for the mailing list, you'll get an e-blast every couple of months or so. They are always in need of contributions and help... as well as parts, so anyone who can give them a hand is welcome!

All the best,
Richard

Karl is also exploring the possibility of locating a crashed Halifax in South America, as well as another in a former French colony.

Hmm. Any IDs on those two? Wonder which "former French colony"...
