Unfortunate news of the passing of a former 424 Sqn member and friend of the CWHM. Our condolences to the family.

Finally official! The Sqn is very proud to display original art inspired by what you could see flying on our P-51s during the Hamilton years.

All tickets for Thursday's event are now SOLD OUT! Very impressed and humbled by the positive response we've received for the event. See you all Thursday!

Leaving for Hamilton soon! Stay tuned and follow the RCAF for updates.

Good day all, I'd like to solicit help from our group. I'm trying to get a hold of someone in particular after reading the following blog posting: https://clarencesimonsen.wordpress.com//th/comment-page-1/... We are wanting to inspire ourselves from one of Tom Walton's designs (Tiger on P-51s) for our 75th Anniversary aircraft art. I'd like to get in touch with Mr Tom Walton or his family. We'll be taking those aircraft to Hamilton for our SAREX in late September and we'd like to have them there for a reveal event. I'm sure they'd be happy to know that we want to honor Mr. Walton. I've left a comment on Clarence Simonsens's blog, but I'm not sure they get read. There is no contact info otherwise. If you know Mr Simonsens or Mr Walton or know someone who could reach them please let me know! Thank you for your help.
