"I was the General Manager of Canaero Dynamics until the company ended operations.
Peter Corley was my best friend and mentor.
He died way too young.

The crew and I continued the Toucan legacy under the new banner of Novadyne Aircraft.
As president, I had the honour and daily pleasure of overseeing the development and production of all existing units.
Indeed, I test flew every one.

Pete Bonnell was certainly one of our biggest fans and supporters.
God, it's been such a long time and it is truly heart warming
to see that there are still people who remember and continue flying the Toucan.
In looking around the internet, I see a few bits of missinformation and many enquiries for specs, photos, etc.
I have a suitcase full of photography and memorabilia and would be willing to share.
Are any of you willing and able to help?

How do I find Pete?

Cheers,

Lorry"
(I copied this from the webpage "Guestbook". Some more pictures would be nice. The pictures of the early Toucan in flight with Peter Corely & wing loading are from Lorry. I forget who sent one of Peter...it may have been Dale Kramer?
[Note: the above picture is not Lorry flying, though it would be nice to have one.]
