Bomber Command Museum of Canada — Attraction in Town of Nanton

This review is strictly for Todd and his amazing tour. Unfortunately I have never left this museum so disappointed and dissatisfied. This museum has always been one of my favourite parts about growing up in Nanton. Even having had my graduation ceremony at the Bomber Command Museum. My grandfather had driven down BC to come see the museum with me for the afternoon as he had never been. It takes a while for him to get around after his past injuries so we arrived around 3pm to give ourselves time. Knowing the museum closed at 5, at 4:45pm we headed to the front desk (as directed by signage) to see if my grandfather could quickly take a look inside the Bomber plane now that he wouldn’t be in the way and could take his time for the remaining minutes.

Many very famous Albertans did their parts in the creation of our Airforce (RCAF), and in WW2. Oh Yeah.....Bought the Tee Shirt...

A number of a/c that I have flown were on pedestals My late wife’s sisters husbands brothers name is listed on the memorial. He died over the North Sea on bombing raid during WW 2. I was impressed by the number of teen agers involved in the reconstruction of aircraft.
