RE: Canada Aviation Museum Collection

Snoopy,

Yes the Liberator is still at the museum and in very excellent shape. It is hard to photograph as it is stored in the back crowded part of the facility.

The Liberator’s cockpit is opened once a year (on july 1st). I have had the chance to visit the cockpit on one occasion and I do have some other exterior photo’s to share. I will post a few tomorrow.

The indoor storage area has some real treasures but until they expand they are hard to see. A complete PBY Canso, Fairey Battle, Bolingbrooke, CT-133 and so on. They do bring quite alot of them out on July 1st which makes for great photo ops. But the big ones are hard to move about.

Peter,

Not sure of the actual marking but I will look into for you. The paintwork has survived very well considered it was done back in the early 60’s. Would love to have a look inside that Lancaster!

RE: Canada Aviation Museum Collection

Yes Guys some of outdoor exhibits are pretty rough but the staff at the museum are very concerned about them and all of them will be undercover in the next few years once the expansion is completed at the site…

And they do have an immaculate DC-3 indoors…It is mint!!

The Beaufighter should have been stored indoors, not question about it. It is a very rare airframe even if it is a composite. Apparently one of the next aircraft to be repainted in the new expansion will their Lancaster..it will be returned to it’s original WWII Canadian Sqn colours.

I could think of a few airframes that need alittle TLC before the Lancaster does( no offense to Lancaster fans)..Still all in good time. I guess.

RE: The Video

I live in the Ottawa area..

and I am regular visitor to the local museum..and on a side note, I noticed that all the outdoor residents have moved to a new location further away from the main buildings..I was wondering why they were replacing tires on the aircraft last year..would have been interesting to see the planes being relocated.

Looks like the new building might start soon this spring.

I did take some great winter pictures of the aircraft..I will post a few later in the week on the forum..

RE: The Video

Thanks the info Peter.

I just ordered all three..spend all my milk money in the process but once I am very interested in seeing the footage of the Lancaster with her tail off the ground!

Has everyone see the UK series “Classic Aviation” or something like that..it has been shown a few times on TVO here in Canada..it was very interesting ..I enjoyed the Taxiing Lightning and Vulcan features very much, as well as the story about the Lancaster being kept on the chicken farm! Is it available on Video or DVD in the UK?

The Video

Guys,

What’s the best way to get the Video’s in Canada. I found the website
for Primetime Video. I have never ordered VHS from the UK. Are these the latest videos?

RE: Bruntingthorpe Canberra Inquiries

Thanks for the info. I didn’t realize that the engines had
been removed. I guess no plans are in place to put them in the air in the near future then.

Great picture…looks ready for take off..maybe a big rubber band might hold her down.

RE: Another Lancaster restored..!

That’s very good news.

Are they going to add to the museum in order to store
more of the collection under cover? It would seem a shame
to repaint the Lancaster and leave it exposed to elements.

RE: Project FM159

Thanks Peter, that’s pretty much what I had thought..and still it will be very exciting doing regular engine starts and routine work on the old girl to keep her in fine tune!

I had read that the CWHM Lancaster requires approx 50hrs maintenance for every 1hr flight time. A true hangar queen!!

RE: Project FM159

That’s ok Peter what I had meant to say..will they keep the fuel system operational at all times once FM159 is capable of running again…will fuel remain in the tanks etc. between engines starts or taxi operations?

RE: Project FM159

Do they keep the tanks and fuel lines “wet” in the cases of most taxible aircraft such as East Kirby’s NX611?

RE: Project FM159

Hi Peter,

Are you planning on using the Lancaster’s own fuel tanks for the engines runs or a special setup(like an temporary fuel cell)
