The Rural Voice, 1978-09, Page 9Flying farriers get
a special welcome
at the IPM
By Debbie Ranney
Flying farmers could be a step ahead of harried motorists
when they conic to the international Plowing Match in Wingham
in September. They won't have to park at the site.
The Wingham airport will be providing parking space for
planes and will be offering free transportation for the flying
farmers out to the plowing match site as well.
Bill Cruikshank. owner of the airport said the farmers will be
landing at the airport and from there four vehicles are to provide
continuous free transportation to the plowing match site. These
vehicles will be transporting people as the need arises.
Mr. Cruikshank said the only limitation at his airport is the
parking space. He said at the Walkerton airport during the Bruce
match they had 75 planes on a good day.
"I don't think we could predict how many we're expecting. We
could park 100 planes if we needed to," he said.
As well as farmers. Mr. Cruikshank thinks that some of the
farm machinery companies probably will be flying in as well.
The Wingham airport is licenced, free for everybody to use.
and Mr. Cruikshank really can't see any problems with landing
or room for the planes.
"We have two runways. We're going to park them on one and
lard them on the other. I'm sure there's no danger of running
out of space," he said.
No special preparations have had to be made for plowing
