11/02/2004. Remarks by Jacques
Trempe: "Credit for this photo should be given to Jacques
Trempe, not me ... but a distant cousin of mine.
The photo was taken
at Val d'Or, which is a small locality in
Northern Quebec and a former RCAF base. In 1985, a new terminal was
inaugurated at Val d'Or airport. At the same time, the Concorde was
due in Montreal, Quebec for some official France government business.
Knowing that, some Val d'Or officials and businessmen arranged with
Air France to fly them from Montreal to Val d'Or on a chartered
flight and at the same time making a show for the terminal
inauguration.
My cousin was on the spot to record the event."
