Visitors flock to aviation museum An international array of tourists sees displays by Glenn Werkman The Review The B.C. Aviation Museum won’t hold its grand opening until August — but that hasn’t Stopped visitors from around the world from touring through. Many have already toured the newly constructed museum off Canora Road, since it opened to the public in late-December “We've had a considerable number of people come through,” museum society president Pat Phillips said. ““There’s even been some international flavor.” An Air Italia pilot had a look at the displays and restoration pro- jects, in the nearly completed res- toration hangar. People from Aus- tralia, England and Eastern Can- ada have also taken a walk through, Phillips said. The museum is gearing up for tours of groups from schools, cadet corps, the veterans’ hospital and kindergarten classes. But first, more work has to be done. Museum volunteers will play “musical airplanes’? sometime within the next month as workers cover the restoration hangar’s dirt floor, pouring concrete in three separate sections, Phillips said. Although grant money from the provincial government is commit- ted to the museum, it only covers about one-third of the construction cost and hinges on the museum being able to raise two-thirds of the cost itself. “Another $75,000 will put us in good shape,” Phillips said. To help the museum get com- pletely off the ground, people are invited to become founding patrons. In return for a donation of $500, donors are named founding patrons and recognized on a spe- cial wall plaque in the museum’s reception area and gift shop — which is now open and selling aviation books and posters. All areas of the museum will be bustling with activity as spring approaches. As more and more visitors come for tours, interest builds and dona- tions of aviation memorabilia keep coming in. Among the most interesting recent donations is a log book filled with war-time flying inci- dents, donated by the family of a First World War pilot, Phillips Said. The pilot’s goggles and a diary recorded during the war are also included in the display case. A collection of over 100 scale- model airplanes was recently donated to the museum and some have already been put on display. Large boxes of aircraft parts for the museum’s Bollingbroke bomber restoration project were donated after sitting in a garage for over a decade. Items put into Storage by museum members are being pulled out and put on display as well. Through it all, restoration work goes on. Once again, students in a Camosun College sheet metal pro- gram will work on an aircraft restoration project. Plans for a taxiway from a Victoria International Airport run- way are in the works. The museum’s executive plans to complete as much as possible in time for the grand opening, tenta- tively planned for the third week- end in August. The museum is open from 12 noon until 3 pm. seven days per week. DID YOU For Pain, Stress .
