There is an issue with the Avenger’s wings and as you can see they need some support. The aircraft lay submerged at the bottom of Bedford Basin for almost 20 years after ditching in 1953, it later spent another 25 or so years as a gate guardian at CFB Shearwater. The corrosive maritime environment and planes don’t mix well……
I was told that the CF-101 (101063 according to (http://acam.ednet.ns.ca/voodoo/voodoo.htm) and the CF-116B don’t meet the museum’s mandate to preserve Canada’s maritime military aviation history and they may trade the aircraft in the future.
It looks like everything now inside, there wasn’t really anything outside at all. I was told that the museum does have a few more aircraft stored on the base, including a CF-101 Voodoo.
I have been up to visit TAM a few times and view the progress on FM104. Sorry, I don’t have any info on where you can locate a Martin turret for the project.
