Vintage Wings of Canada not only keeps alive the memory of those airmen and airwomen who have gone before us—their aircraft and their stories—but also the skills, techniques and tools to maintain, restore and even build these extraordinary machines from scratch.
Vintage Wings of Canada is a not-for-profit, charitable organization with a collection of historically significant aircraft and is run entirely by volunteers. It is our mission to acquire, restore, maintain and fly classic aircraft significant to the early history of powered flight in Canada, focusing largely on the aircraft of the Second World War.
Aviation archaeology is a recognized sub-discipline within archaeology and underwater archaeology as a whole. It is an activity practiced by both enthusiasts and academics in pursuit of finding, documenting, recovering, and preserving sites important in aviation history. For the most part, these sites are aircraft wrecks and crash sites, but also include structures and facilities related to aviation. It is also known in some circles and depending on the perspective of those involved as aircraft archaeology or aerospace archaeology and has also been described variously as crash hunting, underwater aircraft recovery, wreck chasing, or wreckology.

I have the first edition (the year 2000) of the book, Old Ontario Houses - Tom Cruickshank . I think this second edition, printed this year (2026) is half the price for the book I have, bought when it was new. I remember buying it shortly after my divorce. I was focused on old houses, old places around Ontario. Photographing them, usually by myself. Sometimes with my nephew, my Mother, another explorer, or people looking for an old derelict place for filmmaking.
Tom Cruickshank also wrote, Old Toronto Houses. I'm not sure if I bought both at the time. I'd have to take a look at my book trolley. They were almost $40 each years ago. Now, I see them (the old editions) selling for over $200 on Amazon. Of course, that doesn't mean anyone will buy them at that price. I would rather pay $20 something for the new and updated edition. I could see someone selling the old edition, but I don't know why someone would buy it.
Tom Cruickshank is a history and architecture enthusiast. The former editor of Century Home magazine and the current editor of Harrowsmith Country Life magazine, he is also the author of Rogues' Hollow, The Settler's Dream and Port Hope: A Treasure of Early Homes.
Possibly a group which came about over the judgmental attitude people have for history these days. I'm glad more people are thinking about this. You can't rewrite history, its already in the past. Everything in the past is defenseless against the present and how it is perceived and judged by current and changing ideals. Its not fair to use what is popular or expected now while viewing what was popular and expected then. It really can't be done and it pollutes the history, the people and places that were.
There have been events, none listed as coming up, and podcasts.
At the Canadian Institute for Historical Education, we believe the past should be approached in all its complexity. Although we now look back from the present, the past existed on its own terms, not ours.
Our aim is to contribute to conversations about Canada’s historical figures, bringing context and candour when they are unjustly maligned or their contributions diminished, in order to promote a deeper understanding and richer appreciation of our shared past.
To ensure that the ‘renaming” of places reflects a fair and balanced treatment of our past and that relevant facts and context inform these decisions. We will work with historians to provide decision makers with easy access to relevant existing historical evidence and analysis, commission new research where it seems necessary, and act as a catalyst for a more informed understanding amongst all Canadians.
