Where There Is Smoke...

....there is fire. Tonight we spotted some dark smoke in the air. We decided to investigate and discovered that it was several kilometers away on the grounds of the old City Centre Airport.
Hangar 11 which was built in 1942 by the U.S. Airforce at the Municipal Airport unfortunately caught fire and was completely destroyed.
There were plans to completely renovate the old hangar and add on to it.
Fortunately a few years ago l took a picture of the building. It was last of two hangars built by the Canadian Airforce in conjunction with the United States during World War ll

Oh dear, I wonder what will happen now. Nice shots and documentation.

[Bill Davidson]

Nice picture of the original.

Walking through the city, I often wonder what used to be here. Our memory is so fleeting. Therefore, it is good to take shots of different objects before they disappear.

[JackieR]

Oh dear, hope noone was hurt. As Haskar says, we soon forget what was there before

I'm sorry that their plans were foiled. Ashamed to lose old buildings like that. Hopefully no one was injured.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That's so sad- but know you have it preserved forever in your photo now!
