Gentlemen, it's about time I ask for help from this community.
I'm a canuck who is very proud of the aerospace history of Canada. A local park in Toronto has been home to the lone, volunteer-fueled Canadian Air and Space Museum since the 90's. The place used to be a factory for De Havilland Canada. This was where over 1100 Mosquitos were built - from the Mk.VI onward. In September, the museum were sent an eviction notice by the park and now the community is fighting to keep it there. For the time being, they've been locked out and all their planes - including a Lancaster (FM104) is locked behind closed doors. A local veteran, Philip Gray who flew Lancs from 1943 - 45 has spoken to the media about the travesty and has even called to the Queen for help.
Now, since this is in Canada, I don't know if any of you Yanks or Brits and other non-Canadian gents are able to sign the petition, but take a look at the link below and hopefully you can sign it and help the museum! http://casmuseum.org/ (http://casmuseum.org/)
Thanks for reading :salute

I got an email asking to click a link in order to complete my registration, do I need to do that in order to sign it or just register? When I signed it it did tell me that everything was complete (or something like that), I just want to make sure that I don't need to complete my actual registration.
P.S. I will if needed.

Thank you all so much for your support! I truly appreciate this, especially since I don't know any of you personally :salute
Machfly, that's fine. If it said everything was completed, that's it. The link is a registration for the website which hosts the petition. I didn't register for anything myself, though I just gave the email.

Signed, even though I'm not in to British aviation; I don't like to see ANY museum go down.

It didn't ask me to do that. Just click the sign thing and then it will ask you to "start" creating an account, after you fill in the name and email you'll be able to sign it.

Create an account for what? They phishing for names and emails?
I hate to see that museum closed but this looks fishy.

You don't register completely, you start. You'll get an email asking to confirm registration just don't click that. And you can always say that your name is John Doe.

Signed. Absolutely irresponsible behavior there. Those who forget their past, have no future.

Thanks again, gents. Shuffler, it's okay if you don't sign, I understand that it doesn't exactly look like the most professional petition (it is online, after all). But as stated by Machfly, you don't have to continue the register process. I didn't.

I've been a longtime member,send a small donation once a year! they have a flying lanc at the museum,it's something you must see and hear to truely appreciate.
Several years ago I went up in the Stearman that they fly,drove there faster than we climbed out at but was 1 of those bucket list items I've crossed off. I got about 35 or 45 minutes stick time in it,hmm maybe I'll see if I can go up in the Havard this summer!

Morfiend, I think you're thinking of a different museum...? That's the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, with the Lanc, among others.
But this Air and Space museum that the OP seaks of... Toronto.

Yes it appears I'm mistaken but I could have sworn I heard the heritage museum was going to have to move. Maybe it's a case that it's both,I'll have to check further.

I've heard rumours of that as well... I know they share the property with the Hamilton Intl. Airport, but I wouldn't think that's gotten to be a problem...

How about a cryptic statement.
"If this museum is closed, the missing Avro Arrow's location will never be revealed.

Thank you, kind sir! That helps very much :D
To be honest at this time, I'm not even sure what real progress we volunteers are making over there. A Member of Parliament over here, Mike Sullivan, has spoken at our House of Commons to help us keep the property upon which the museum is located. Here's hoping things go well.

Once again, gents, thank you, thank you and thank you!
The 10 000 e-signature goal has been reached. Hopefully we've now got something to go to court with! :salute
