The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre is launching an auction of a custom Ontario Provincial Air Service (OPAS) inspired electric guitar made by Kevin McAuley. Earlier this year, Kevin gifted this custom piece to the Bushplane Museum to be auctioned off as part of our summer fundraiser.
Founder of Goulais River Guitars, Kevin creates unique musical instruments. With a lifelong passion for both music and aviation, Kevin first began his career as an Aircraft Mechanic in the early 1970s in the same hangar that now serves as the CBHC’s home.
This guitar is modelled after the famous Flying V guitar built by the Gibson Guitar Company. It was created using aircraft sheet metal and incorporating details used in the painting of the aircraft used by the OPAS. It is currently on display in the front lobby of the museum. If you are considering participating in the auction, here are the details:
To see the guitar in action and hear it played for the first time, buy a ticket to our Cory Marks concert. Country Rock singer Cory Marks will be playing it during his headliner concert on June 11th. Tickets are available now at bushplane.com/corymarks. Get yours before they are sold out!
All proceeds from the silent auction and Cory Marks concert support the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre’s Future Impact Project, which includes replacement of roofing material and other essential facility upgrades that ensure the long-term sustainability of the museum.

Lucas Nickle, a 10-year old boy, feels neglected by his family and bullied by local kids. In his frustration, he takes out his anger on an anthill in his yard, terrorizing the ants with a water gun. This act of aggression catches the attention of Zoc, a wizard ant, who decides to shrink Lucas down to ant size using a magical potion to teach him a lesson about empathy and teamwork.
