Meeting the Queen

A terrific new exhibit was unveiled May 27th at the Yukon Transportation Museum. Everyone was there: the Minister, the curator, dignitaries and numerous guests. And, oh yeah, the Queen was there too.

“Barnstorming With the Queen: A Tale of Adventure and Friendship Aboard the Queen of the Yukon II” is a photographic exhibit that tells the story of two dashing young men who, in the summer of 1929, ferried the Queen of the Yukon II up the west coast to the Yukon for the territory’s first commercial airline.

What made the opening particularly meaningful is that relatives of Gordon Stewart, one of the two pilots, were in attendance—Jeremy, his grand-son, June, his daughter-in-law, and Ella, his great-granddaughter.

The exhibit will be on display for the remainder of the season.

It was also an opportunity to showcase aasman’s recent branding work for the museum, including its new identity, colour schemes and exhibit panels.
