The Large Canadian Roadside Attractions site has a photos wante page...

http://www.roadsideattractions.ca/popwanted.htm

...indicates there is a F-86 Sabre in Montreal. This is news to me. Has anyone else seen it? Does anyone have directions?

Huh....

No idea!

Better ask Eric!

I was in St-Jean the other day, but I flew in with the Bell 206, so I didn't see no military college...

And I was more interested in the ATC chick... 8)

Maybe out by the old Cartierville plant where they build them? Or St. Hubert?

I think there is an Avro CF100 Canuck

But I have never seen it, So I cannot confirm

Small, but may be a clue, right in fron of the Cartier Pavillion

Mike et al--

The pictured Clunk looks like Mk.5 18746, which is on display at CMR, St-Jean. The Sabre referred to by Ed is probably one of several airframes once on show at CFB St-Jean. (Actually Ed wouldn't be interested in that one for his site even if it is still there, as it was displayed on its wheels and Ed's site is entirely pylon birds).

Anyway, I tried without success to find the CFB St-Jean stuff, which besides the Sabre (which I think may be a Mk.2), included CF-100 Mk.2 18104, the oldest surviving Clunk. Couldn't find them...but have since been told they're still on the base. (Also displayed at St-Jean at one time was an RCAF Mustang, which eventually passed to Ormond Haydon-Baillie and thence, I think, to the Imperial War Museum.)
