The End of the Line—1310 Burnaby Street, Vancouver, Canada.

12 Apr

Here's a 1982 photo showing the penthouse where Mr. Flynn departed this realm, Wednesday 14 October 1959. I have no idea what changes, if any, had been made to the structure in the intervening 23 years.

Much larger scans of this image are at my web site:

In a day or two I'll post a 2003 colour photo of the entrance to this building.

Chris Driscoll writes to me:

Hi David,

I think you will have no trouble with this link below.
 
The link is a great window into the life of 'The Prof'! Indeed a man of science and his advice and expertise is sought by Academia, politicians and industry.Note also of his exploration to the South Pole on the ship 'Aurora' !
 
Lot's of 'Time Line' here to keep the 'sleuths 'a sleuthing' as well.
  
The privations of Hobart as a land in it's natural state in 1909 would have suited a keen scientist's eye. For a young woman with a spirited child, away from her family (in Sydney NSW) and literally at earth's end, it may have proven to be 'too much to bear'!
 
Best & Kindest, Chris.
