Original Toronto Star caption: Two Aircraft stand outside the de Havilland Aircraft of Canada plant in Downsview; where 600 to 700 men will be laid off before the end of the year because sales of short-haul airliners and bush planes are lagging. The layoffs are to start immediately and continue gradually over next few months as company cuts back.
