women,
both groundcrew and aircrew, deserve to be recorded
and remembered by all Canadians. The RCAF Memorial
Museum, as the official museum of the Air Forces of
Canada, fulfills that mandate with its broad collection
of personal and squadron memorabilia. The Museum holds
several important displays, including a Victoria Cross
gallery and a depiction of the Great Escape. A team
of volunteers will soon complete work on the worlds
only fully restored Halifax Bomber.
At
present, the Museums 20,000 square feet will only
permit 30% of the collection to be displayed. This problem
is increasing as more and more artifact's are donated
to the Museum. A separate campaign is underway to raise
the funds needed to expand the Museums display
area to 65,000 square feet. This will allow us to display
our unique Halifax aircraft and a much larger portion
of the artifact collection.
The
restoration of the Halifax is a major undertaking by
the Halifax Aircraft Association, which is a dedicated
group of volunteers who recovered NA 337 from a fjord
in Norway. Their goal is to restore the aircraft to it's
original condition. There are only three Halifax left
in the world and NA337 is the most authentic.
