Just found it on the home page, clips by decades, 1940, Camp Bordon , Ont, Ca. - wow what are the chances. Has this been brought to light on this forum?

Wow! That is some great footage of Borden I had never seen before. Including a nice run down the hangar line.

Several of those hangars still exist today






I also had the privilege of shooting Yale 3399 last year when the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association returned it to the air. From the video it looks like it was metal overall with yellow trim.


More images of the Yale in flight can be found here

That is a really great video. I have watch it before but always an inspiration in restoring these two Yale's.

I had mentioned the footage I had found of 3399 in this thread (there are two different videos, but they were very likely shot on the same occasion in late 1940)
The second video: http://www.criticalpast.com/video/65675 ... -dog-fight

Speaking of 3399, here's how she looked at the end of March with her repaired engine re-hung.

She's almost ready to take to the skies again.

Shane, that is great news. Can't wait to see it back in the air again.
