Old air force training planes in flyby over Leaside Sunday

There was a flying salute to Canada’s war dead Sunday at 11 a.m. as three Harvard trainer aircraft flew above Leaside and then on up and over crowds gathered at the Sunnybrook Cenotaph. The Harvards, a common sight everywhere in Canada during WWII as they trained RCAF pilots, are known by their squarish look, slow speed and distinctive drone.
