Canada’s first fully functional flight impact simulator. National Research Council of Canada has been using flight impact simulators [FIS] for almost half a century. Indeed, few organisations on this Earth have been involved in bird strike testing longer than NRC. NRC has played a crucial role in making flying safer. It is very likely, if not almost certain, that the flight impact simulators located in Ottawa were the inspiration for the Chicken Cannon irregularly put to use on the CBC’s weekly television show Royal Canadian Air Farce. The Chicken Cannon made its appearance on Friday, March 4th, 1994. It was apparently last fired on Thursday, December 18th or Friday, December 19th, 2008, at the taping of the show’s very popular New Year’s special. Throughout the years, the Chicken Cannon was loaded and fired by one of the show’s most popular character, Colonel “Teresa” Stacey, played by Don Ferguson. As well as a sizeable number of rubber chickens, the Chicken Cannon fired a bewildering variety of items, primarily food, at photos of individuals, either Canadian or foreign, who were deemed to be the most annoying at the time. Viewers proposed many targets. [Ref. 1]

Technical
Collection includes "step chamber and electrical pressure-release solenoid for 3.5-inch gun breech; the white plastic air hose was used at one point to connect the 3.5-inch gun to a different gun control panel. The fittings on the 3.5-inch gun are of this type and NOT the flare fitting type that is on the common Gun Control panel. Therefore the hoses with fittings were included. They would help to depict the air supply connections should the 3.5-inch gun be re-assembled for display. The support frame rollers for the 3.5-inch gun barrel and reservoir were added to the box at the last minute. A few of the plain bearings for these could not be found. A number of throttle-plates were included as was a steel disc that would serve to depict the original 3.5-inch sabot stripper – with a little work." [Ref. 4]
