Welcome aboard the history of western Canada’s favourite airline, Pacific Western Airlines as seen through the movie camera lens of Denny Ranson. Sadly, Denny passed away in late 2007, but Denny’s work and memories live on forever in this DVD.

During the 1960s and 70s, Denny produced several 16mm period films (with narration and sound) for PWA, all of which have been digitally preserved on this Limited Edition DVD.

Re-live the nifty sixties when PWA 707s flew IT charters to points abroad, while back home out West, the first 737s established PWA as one of North America’s first regional “jet” airlines. PWA’s Hercules freighter ops during the Mackenzie Valley oil boom are also highlighted.

The films include lots of vintage colour PWA aircraft footage not seen in 30-plus years, including “long lost” air-to-air footage of PWA 707-138Bs, Hercs, and PWA white scheme 737s. Vintage colour footage of PWA C-46, Anson, York (air-to-air), Beaver, DC-4 and DC-6 will bring back memories for many who started their airline careers with PWA back in the golden era of the 1960s. A measure of 1960s IT travel destinations, coupled with Western Canadian tourism and industry development of the era, help capture the early days and history of one of Canada’s great airlines.

Sit back, relax, fasten your seat belt, and enjoy your flight looking back at the early days and history of one of Canada’s great airlines.

I contracted with eWeb A1Professionals in August of 2018 to design a very straight forward pdf reader app and was told the project would take 1 month and cost $2200, which I agreed to, along with quarterly instalment payments. All of this was managed via the Guru.com platform.

It is now February 4, 2019 and six months have passed. I released all the quarterly instalment payments as agreed, but they never provided me with source code as the project progressed. All development was done on their own server. In late December they made it look as if they were within days of completion. And they pressured me to release the last instalment payment to them, which I did in good faith.

By January 30, 2019, with zero progress and every day their telling me they would have news for me “tomorrow” or “next week”, I decided to ask for Guru.com to help me in dealing with my project leader, Amarinder Gurna to bring a completion of our delayed project.

The very next day Amarinder advised me his xcode on his computer crashed and all our code for our app was destroyed and lost. Please for them to provide the Android code which was supposedly completed have been completely ignored. So we have reported this horrible experience to Guru.com and they are now making efforts to remove eWeb A1Professionals from their platform.

In conclusion, we paid them the full $2200 as agreed, and after 6 months they delivered absolutely zero to us in return, and completely ignore all our efforts of communication.

As a warning: you risk loss of much time and money if you risk doing business with eWeb A1Professionals. They are unreliable, dishonest, and will only waste your time and cause massive frustration and irritation. All messages to their website are completely ignored as are all messages to our project manager Manpreet Singh. This has been a total disaster for us.
