Located on the largest Air Force base in Canada, CFB Trenton is host to the National Air Force Museum, and also the 15 acre RCAF Memorial Airpark which exhibits 22 historic aircraft and memorials.
The most important aircraft in the collection is the Halifax NA337, found frozen in a lake in Norway, and meticulously restored to near perfect condition. This is one of only 3 surviving Halifax bombers from WWII, of the 6,178 that were originally built.
Work has begun on the challenging restorations of a 1942 Avro Anson Mk II and a 1943 North American Harvard Mk II. Originally produced in Canada, these two vintage aircraft were instrumental in training generations of RCAF and Allied aircrew.
