Royal Canadian Air Force Canso A 11007

June 20, 2016

Canto Crash near Radar Hill
This is the February 8, 1945 crash site of a RCAF Canso/Catalina. It’s near Radar Hill in the Pacific Rim National Park between Ucluelet and Tofino. There’s a detailed story by Dirk Septer of the crash (at this link).

Bonus:
The trail* to the crash site winds through this abandoned building:

Abandoned Building Near Radar Hill Crash Site
* as of June 2016, the ‘trail’ from the abandoned building to the crash site was extremely muddy; it’s possible to sink your foot 6 to 12 inches into the mud—I’d wear tall rubber boots with good tread if I were going today…

No Wonder

It’s no wonder visitors like to stop by in the sunny season. We used to sail in the Gulf Islands and parts beyond and always liked coming into this harbour.

We’re taking off (see what we did there?) for a few days and will likely be back posting photos by Tuesday afternoon.

Jane Kidd’s Latest Tapestry

Jane Kidd latest Tapestry
This is Salt Spring artist Jane Kidd’s latest tapestry measuring approximately four feet wide by six or so feet tall. The image above is a horizontal portion of the tapestry representing about one-third of the piece (so you can see some of the details).

You may have heard that Jane recently won the prestigious Saidye Bronfman award as an exceptional craftsperson and fine crafts artist. Read more about this $25 000 award here.

* As for any artist’s work that appears on this website, Jane of course holds the copyright on this piece. I hold the copyright on the photograph.
