  • F 6
  • Fonds
  • 1910-2003

This fonds consists of records created, accumulated and used by Ray Crone in pursuit of his personal interests and hobbies. The records, which date from 1910 to 2003, relate mainly to aviation and the aircraft industry, potash, telephone service in Saskatchewan, and the Western Development Museum.

The types of records included are minutes, addresses, log books, correspondence, reports, scrapbooks, publications, photographs, maps, posters, audiotapes and videocassettes.

The fonds includes sound recordings recorded from 1979 to 1982 of the reminiscences of Ray Crone of Regina; Ed Matheson of Regina; and Graham Campbell of Delta, British Columbia. The three men served in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Squadron 162 during World War II and recall the incident which resulted in the Victoria Cross being awarded to Flight Lieutenant David E. Hornell (reference codes Tape R-8177 to Tape R-8178).

No series assignment has been applied to the records in this fonds.
