Canadian Air, Space and Infinity Museum?
Anyway, here's the Buchon in storage in Rockcliffe back in 2006 when it was still the Canada Aviation Museum:

Thanks for the pics! Re Rockliffe, I have a fleece that says "Canada Aviation Museum / Musée de l'Aviation du Canada" but apparently - and annoyingly for someone who likes to get his facts right and doesn't like them being changed - it's now: "Canada Aviation and Space Museum / le Musée de l’aviation et de l’espace du Canada". As per the Men in Black, "What will it be called tomorrow?"

OK I see now. BTW there's a second 'c' in Rockcliffe.

Sigh....
There is no fight here, and if it were, it is not with you.
I posed a simple question regarding the spelling of the name of the base, as it appears on numerous history, geography and military books.
So that there will be no doubt whatsoever:
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THE PHOTO, AND I STAND CORRECTED ON THE SPELLING AS IT APPEARS ON THE AIRPLANE.

Quite right. Personally, I'd like to see at least one Buchon painted in Israeli AF livery. I know, I know, it wouldn't be quite accurate with the Merlin. But it would still be cool. Maybe we could find a Jumo somewhere ... but then we'd have to hunt up a pilot willing to fly the Buchon with the Jumo hung on it. We probably wouldn't be stampeded with volunteers.
