Calling Canadians: Carl Vincent & George Hopp Collections

[Old MacDonald]

Can you put me in touch with whoever acquired Carl Vincent's collection of RCAF/RCN aircraft photos and info? Also...George Hopp's collection?

I was lucky enough to acquire Carl's outstanding book Canada's Wings 2: The Liberator and Fortress when it was published in 1975 (ye gods, HALF A CENTURY AGO!). I have a technical question that may be answerable from material in Carl's collection but not in the book. While I never corresponded with Carl, I did carry on a bit of a conversation with George (via snail mail, for ye who don't recall what communications was like back in the Dark Ages!!). He was always super helpful and bent over backwards to help if he could. Super, super gentleman!

Thanks in advance.

Chris rarely if ever posts here any more but he is a regular on the Britmodeller site with the same name as here, dogsbody. He seems to have direct contact with Carl Vincent

Thanks. Is Chris the webmaster of that site? If not, what's his handle?

Here is his profile here. He was here in July so you could PM him..... dogsbody
If you are not a member of Britmodeller, I could PM Chris there and see if he'll pop in here to contact you

Thanks. I'm not a member there, so if you would PM him I'll much appreciate it.

Done

Much appreciate it. I just sent him a PM through this site, so now we've double-barreled him!

Chris already got back to me, so the ball is rolling. Again, many thanks for your help!
