The Lancaster as part of the Lancaster Project has seen a bit of "face lift" this summer and has had a brand new coat of paint. It has been painted to resemble noted Calgarian, Ronnie Jenkins WW2 Lancaster Bomber the WL-O - The Wee Lady Orchid - complete with Nose Art. Accomplished Artist Duncan Parker and his crew have transformed the Lancaster from once what was painted in grey inhibitor paint to full Bomber Command colours. It's a sight to be seen.
The First Aviation Museum in Calgary
"The Air Museum of Canada" was founded in 1960 but was largely a collection of privately owned aircraft. Disbanding in 1971, the museum's aircraft and assets were turned over to the City of Calgary and housed at the city's Planetarium for safekeeping and display. In 1975 the "Aero Space Museum Association of Calgary" was registered as a non-profit, charitable, organization and assumed the care and upkeep of these artifacts.
