Listings of Canadian Vintage
Aircraft
As a service to our members, other
organizations, and the general public, The Canadian Aeronautical
Preservation Association is pleased to provide information regarding
the vintage aircraft currently displayed by museums and other
organizations in Canada.
The basis for this project is information
collected by the late Tom Palmer. A resident of Victoria, British
Columbia, Tom was a wartime member of No. 635 Squadron RAF. As a
hobby, he collected vast amounts of data related to Halifax and
Lancaster Bombers as well as the vintage aircraft on display in
Canada. Tom volunteered from time to time at the Nanton Lancaster
Air Museum. He donated his collection of information to the museum
which is pleased to have made it available as the beginnings of this
project.
We would like to thank others who have contributed
information and acknowledge with thanks our use of information made
available through www.roadsideattractions.ca .
When viewing the listings
please note the following:
- The "Updated" field indicates
the date of the most current information that we have related to
the aircraft.
- The "Markings" field indicates
the letters/numbers currently on the fuselage of the aircraft.
- The "Status" field is, at this
time, limited to the following entries: Airworthy, Static, Under
Restoration, Unrestored, and Pedestal.
- The "Custodian" field
indicates the museum or organization that is responsible for the
aircraft. In some cases this entry is preceded by a
"?" followed by a location. This indicates that we
know where the aircraft is but do not know who is responsible
for it.
- The "Museum" field indicates
whether or not the organization that is responsible for the
aircraft is operating as a museum.
- The "CAPA" field indicates
whether or not the organization that is responsible for the
aircraft is a member of the Canadian Aeronautical Preservation
Association.
As our member museums know, we welcome whatever
deletions, additions, and corrections that are required. We also
welcome information regarding other vintage aircraft in Canada that
are not on our listing.
Please forward any information you feel we should
have to Dave Birrell, the CAPA director responsible for this
initiative, by email <library at bombercommandmuseum dot ca>.
(Replace the at with "@" and the dot with”.")
We hope you find the information interesting and
useful. Detailed information regarding many of these aircraft is
available on websites managed by their custodians.
