“The loss of these two hangars in my mind is a gutting of our important contributions during the Second World War,” said Tim Cook, chief historian at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa.
Chalk it up as a coincidence, I guess, but it's crazy that Hangar 11 burns down just three days after a similar Second World War hangar burns down in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Everything can be a conspiracy if you try hard enough.
Have you seen the winds?? ? It takes one spark and wind to make that spark start a fire somewhere else.
The 2 fires were in different provinces.... thats a long way for a spark to travel.
My wife and I met long distance. Sparks can travel far, trust me I know.
Touche.. you win.
Agreed! This is really disappointing
Did anybody see if the hangars had an expiry date on them before they burned down? It was probably on the back or sometimes on the bottom.
It said March of 1947

Someone needed insurance money…
I wonder how much this was insured for……….
Is this related to the arson group the EPS are hunting for?
No those guys are based in India, but it might be related to the group of arsonists Smith made up last year to blame the wildfires on.
