Bomber Command Museum of Canada

The Bomber Command Museum of Canada, in the past the Nanton Lancaster Society Museum, is a flying exhibition hall in Nanton, Alberta. The gallery opened in 1986 and is featured by its Avro Lancaster, one of just 17 staying on the planet. The Nanton Lancaster Society was framed in 1985 with the mission of safeguarding the town's Avro Lancaster, which had been on outside showcase since 1960.

The next year, the general public authoritatively started showing the air ship as a gallery. In 1991 the NLS finished a working to house the plane, and all through the 1990s the exhibition hall obtained an extensive gathering of flying machine to supplement the Lancaster. Following the opening of the first building, the historical center has extended in 1998, 2002, and 2007. The exhibition hall incorporates a library, document, and reclamation shop. It is by and by attempting to include second overhang for its collection.

Since 1986, the historical center's Lancaster has experienced a full rebuilding, and each of the four motors are operational. The Society chose to reestablish the air ship utilizing the uniform of Lancaster ND-811 F2-T "T for Tommy," the Lancaster in which Ian Bazalgette was slaughtered on 4 August 1944. In 1990 the Society held a commitment function for the flying machine. Among participants were Mrs. Ethel Broderick, Ian's sister, F2-T team individuals Chuck Godfrey and George Turner, and in addition 407 Squadron's leader, Colonel Terry Chester.
