I was at Trenton last week and saw the wings for the Harvard out back in the area where the Tracker is. Right now the Anson is receiving attention in the restoration shop.

I can assure you that we are still in business and have no plans to stop.
At present we have aprox 10 rebuildable basket cases ( all civilian) 300 wrecks and 400,000 parts.
We are open usually on Sats. from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm and by appointment outside those hrs.
We also maintain the runway for fly-in customers. In fact I had my Fleet 16r down there on Sat.
Besides aviation items we have a large selection of collectable items/antiques which we also offer for sale but mostly we are an aviation business.
You are correct on the Piper Cub , we sold it two years ago . Incidentally it was not a Cub but an L-4 with military service in Italy during WW2. It is now under restoration in Kansas City.
For appointments : hamaeroclub@hotmail.com or 416-727-5190

Thanks

I was just thinking.
Over the years I have had many photographers, rock video directors etc want to come to the Farm to take pics of the wrecks.
Ken was never really keen on it and would always turn them down.
I however, have no problem with it.
If you would like to visit and take shots some day , you are most welcomed.
It is a photographers dream, many interesting things to photo.

Thank you for the reply, would it be O.K. to come by some time and just take a look around? There is no way I can afford to buy anything, as a poor college student, haha, however it would be a great experience for my friend and I to take a look around. Also... did you stop in at CWH on a Sunday last summer I think it was, along with the Woody Woodpecker Tiger Moth? If so, I met you there briefly! I volunteer on the line crew there.

Ooo...ooo , pics please Greg87? I've seen a few pics of Fleet16b's place, but I'd love to see a good bit more. I love to prowl junkyar...umm..err..repositories of minutae and relics of bygone days.
He's a bit fer out of my roaming range..thanks in advance..have fun!!!

Yes, that was me at CWH along with my buddy Steve in his DH 82C.

No problem dropping by some day at the farm. Just contact me first for an appointment, for if you come when I am not there you won't get past the gate. Big guard dog
Incidentally for you and others reading this post, the business has operated there since 1953 and was started by Ken Gamble.
Hence the business has always been know as "Kenneth Gamble Ltd , Barn Full of Parts".

Thanks for your interest.
