Where exactly in Sarnia is Sabre? "Planes on Pedestals" indicates it is in Germain Park. Using Google Maps I have found a Germain Arena on Sycamore, but no Germain Park yet. Does anyone happen to know of a street, intersection or any other clues?

Hi Mike--

Somewhere I've got a reference to which Sabre this is. It's a humdinger. Before it was even mounted, there was a fire where it was stored and the cockpit section took heavy damage; the canopy ended up being replaced with a cut-down T-33 unit (kinda shows what a Sabre trainer might have looked like--though there was one two-seat prototype in real life). When I last saw the Sarnia 86 she was suffering from severe corrosion on the belly, some of the panels looking like greenish suede! A couple years ago (iirc) I was told that the intention is to replace the 86 with a Tutor; now that the Tutors are starting to be parceled out to museums and/or sold off, that may happen soon if it's still the plan. I hope someone preserves the Sabre, but she'd need an awful lot of work even to be made presentable for museum display...
