An article sent into Signal -Star from the
Hamilton Spectator this week says that the
Canadian Warplane Heritage is about to in-
herit a rather unusual piece of memorabilia.
Oakville resident Mac Anderson, a purser
and steward on the first commercial trans-
Atlantic flights from Canada, says he'll
donate his cherished breadboard to the
group.
"I used to make every sandwich on the
early trans-Atlantic flights," Mr. Anderson
said during a visit to CWH headquarters at
Hamilton Civic Airport recently. "I've had
that breadboard for 38 years, but I'll be
delighted to donate it."
Along with 71 other pioneers of trans-
Atlantic air service, 59 -year-old Mr. Ander-
son came to reminisce and inspect a Lan -

caster bomber of the type they flew on those

The CWH has been restoring the Lan-

airport) for the past five years and plans to
have it finished next year.
