Post-war, several ex-Luftwaffe aircraft were flattened with a bulldozer and buried at RCAF Station Aylmer.
A former Me-262 is reportedly partly under a building and partly under a parking lot at what's now the
Ontario Police College, but all that's there is scrunched-up aluminum scrap, so there's no point in excavating
it, even if it were possible. This rare photo shows a German V-1 in RCAF markings for "AIRCRAFT
ARMAMENT EXPERIMENTAL DETACHMENT" or "CENTRAL EXPERIMENTAL AND PROVING
ESTABLISHMENT" (or just "EXPERIMENTAL AND PROVING ESTABLISHMENT" depending on the
time frame). With RCN uniforms, the photo suggests this was probably an event in Ottawa. Courtesy of Jeff
