Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Not a plane sight: It's not every day that a plane parks itself and on King St.; and it's not anyone who would think of such a gimmick to attract financial backers from Bay St. But that's what Vancouver airline operator Bill Rennie did yesterday. Displaying the two-seat Sparrow Hawk on King St. W. are Lee Sweeney and Gisele Fredette-Fowler.
