Twin-engine plane from the ’50s to highlight event honouring Hamilton business, basketball legend - Hamilton | Globalnews.ca

The project was the brainstorm of Eva Rothwell’s developer Rev. Don MacVicar who often drove past the no-longer-wanted plane sitting lifeless on a field at Kenneth Gamble Ltd. on Highway 6 for years.

A redeveloped 1956 twin-engine Piper airplane, soon to be a permanent fixture at Eva Rothwell Centre in Hamilton, was once owned by Robert and Tommy Wong who established a flight training school in the GTA back in the 1950s.What was left of the aircraft would be donated for MacVicar’s exhibit in 2018 after he met up with then Gamble manager Cam Harrod who now runs Barn Full of Parts and other aviation businesses.

“He would donate it for the children and I was sold. ‘Yes I’ll take it,’ I said not having any money or transportation available at the time.”Mohawk College’s Aviation School would eventually be the ones to move the plane to their hanger at John C Munro International Airport where semester after semester of students would put hundreds of hours in restoring the plane between 2018 and 2022.

I have no respect for the people who demand such hatreds for one another. End Christianity
