Airport Model From The 50’s


We have initiated talks with a model maker in St. John’s to seek out the feasibility of constructing a model of the old airport from the early 50s era that will include streets, buildings , hangers and runways, all to scale. We have a copy of the blueprints of the airport that includes everything , even the heating pipes  and building numbers that were assigned so the modeller has plenty to work with except the building's detail. We will be cataloguing photos of all the buildings on the airport in order to give the modeller the detail we require.  We have quite a collection but there are always some that will be missing.  We are canvassing everyone to send us any photos in a digital format that show buildings from the old town. They don’t have to include the complete building. Any portion helps, the size and shapes of the buildings are included in the blueprints. Keep a lookout for future updates. We expect the model to be completed in late 2016 or early 2017.
