CF-JDO 1959 Memorial Exhibit
In 1959, they took off and were never seen again.
Until we found them.
Help us tell their extraordinary story.
Help us preserve the memory of F/O Raymond Gran DFC and Saskatchewan Conservation officer Harold Thompson. Help us tell the story of their downed Cessna 180 CF-JDO, which was recovered after 59 years in Peter Pond Lake.
The family located both souls and their aircraft in 2018, starting a year’s journey towards their recovery. The Museum was proudly able to provide assistance in the recovery of the aircraft in 2019.
Campaign Goal $223,000
- $36,525 16.4%
Now we need you.
The Saskatchewan Aviation Museum plans to construct a permanent display that will feature the aircraft, itself a crucial piece of Saskatchewan aviation history, and tell the story of these two men, Ray and Harold, lives filled with courage, dedication, and sacrifice.
This is a story that represents all the people who have risked and continue to risk everything to serve Saskatchewan.
