Thanks for uploading the scenery package. I will install it asap and certainly enjoying a further classic airport / air base more.

Have checked my logs and confirmed I landed at CYJT in the early hours of July 23 1968 on board CL-44 G-AWGS en-route from Belfast/Aldergrove to Toronto.  The EGAA runways were then too short to allow a direct flight, so a technical stop was planned for Gander, but a diversion was needed due to fog  [ I think ].

My memories are rather hazy as I spent most of the flight in the crew bunks - these were fitted in a compartment towards the front of the aircraft, and benefited from a good amount of prop. noise.  These CL-44's [ ex Seaboard ] required an air starter, and I think I remember quite a lot of confusion about the availability of one of these in the middle of the night  - I don't remember ending up stuck there, so assume the problem was solved.  Happy days.

Thanks for sharing Richard. Nice to hear from someone who actually visited one of our sceneries.
