Ad Hoc Get-Togethers

[Robert Dabkowski]

I stopped in today (July 19th) for a quick look 'round and was pleased by the museum progress that has been acheived.

Museum's posted hours are Mondays -Closed, Tuesday thru Friday 0900-1500, Saturday's & Sundays 1300-1600.

Vehicle building (southern most tank hanger) open with MVs ranging from horse drawn wagons thru a cut-away T-55.

Central tank hanger open with airplane scale models and a CF-5 fighter jet inside.

Attached small arms museum not to open for another two weeks yet.

New aircraft museum (under re-construction) being installed in several of the 1917 vintage airplane hangers over at the airfield flight line area.

Several ex-Cdn military aircraft still up on concrete plinths in different areas around the Base.

Ditto for many repainted (to weather-proof only - no historical markings nor historic colours used) ex-Cdn military vehicles and WW2 German artillery pieces.

Liked the Museum BUT ...

... ... ...

A very sad state of affairs for Canada.

But, the new Museum is good. Needs more artifact displays to be set-up inside but that will come as volunteers have the chance to put in more time & effort.
