Restorations
Work is progressing on 3191. The repairs to the first wing are well under way and the second wing is mounted on the jig ready for some rib replacements. In the meantime work is being done to prepare the fuselage to go to the paint shop for some work. The engine which was sent to Covington's for overhaul is back and will in all probability end up on UFZ (Bessy).
One thing we do know is that somehow he got his hands on a Clark, solid tire tow tug – painted in Harvard yellow and ready to be cleaned up and prepared for action.
This one is in rough shape as it has been sitting outside at Hagersville for some time. Our best information is that it was part of the old 16 SFTS Hagersville air base and was used to tow aircraft during the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Another historical addition to the Harvard Associations assets.
An Hydraulic Training Board for the Harvard, built by CanCar, was donated to CHAA; presently it is being overhauled by CHAA member Mancel Waugh. When completed, both the Hydraulic Training Board and the Electrical Training Board will be excellent teaching aids to help new pilots and visitors to the hangar understand the workings of our aircraft.
The Electrical Training Panel currently located in the North Hangar is now OPERATIONAL. The panel was donated to CHAA in 2006 and was originally made at Canadian Car and Foundry in Fort William (Thunder Bay) in 1942. CHAA also received a complete wiring diagram display board of the panel with all wiring marked and numbered accordingly.
