Wonderful story and well written. Plywood and cotton!? Incredible, and built right in our neighbourhood. Shame to see the building go but alas such is the path of "progress".

CBC / As It Happens plays a wonderful classic reading of a story called "The Sheperd" on Christmas Eve every year that features one of these aircraft prominently. Gets me every time.

Thanks so much, Greg! I'd somehow never heard about the CBC's tradition (or forgotten about it), but came across while research the piece. And apparently they turned into a mvoe on Disney+ for Christmas this year.
