I visited the National Air Force Museum of Canada in Trenton, Ontario on the week of Remembrance Day. The museum is operated by lovely elderly gentlemen who are former members of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Ottawa is home to the Canadian War Museum that has exhibits on more than just planes.
I was the first to enter the museum that day so I got a lovely introduction from one of them on the history of their fine Handley Page Halifax.
The wrecked airframe was recovered from 250 meters under water in Norway and is one of only three surviving examples today. The plane was shot down over Norway and a local boy watched it crash into the water. Decades later, they boy grew up and found the exact location of the wrecked plane, helping in the recovery of it. It is the only fully-restored Halifax in the world.
Around the back of the museum, the restoration hangar is busy at work restoring another Second World War aircraft for display. A majority of its displays are either able to fly or have flown recently in the past decade, making it a living museum. It’s location on the Trenton Canadian Forces Base with an airstrip helps with transporting exhibits in and out of the museum.

Comic displays
The upstairs area of the museum uses comic strips to tell stories of Canadian military aviation history in English and French. Most of the comics on display show stories from the two world wars. Over two dozen aircraft and helicopters are on display outdoors including a Boeing 707 used for testing engines from Pratt & Whitney and a former Patrouille Suisse aerobatics plane.
