CP Air Family Day '74

Subscriber Dave McMillan generously donated a box full of newsletters from CP Air / Canadian Airlines dating back to the late 1960's.

Terry had already scanned many of the same issues, however, Dave's collection does include several issues that we do not already have.

 I found an interesting Special Edition of CP Air News that appears to have been a hand out for 'Family Day '74' at the YVR Operations Centre.

The four page newsletter includes a welcome message from then President, John C. Gilmer, shop photos, the building diagram and facts about CP Air at the time. Too much to copy & paste here so I scanned the full issue and a link is available below for viewing. 

I spent the last 14 years of my career in this building, long enough to develop a nostalgic affection for it. I hope that it can bring back positive memories for our readers who are CP Air / Canadian Airlines alumni.
