Learn how the Halifax 57 Rescue team is converting the impossible into reality, building a national memorial for the 10,800 RCAF airmen who gave their lives. In this episode, project manager Karl Kjarsgaard and main engineer Scott Knox take us inside their new 60x40 hangar in Arnprior, nicknamed "Fort Knox". They discuss the technical challenges of the rebuild and the personal legacy of the "Phantom of the Ruhr," the legendary bomber Scott’s father flew during the war. This deep-dive conversation is hosted by Jim Blondeau from TimeKeepers Canada, who facilitates the interview from behind the camera. We also outline our four-pronged social media campaign, which is fundamental to finding the new donors and funding essential for the project's future.
