Visit to the aviation museum



I had been meaning to bring the boys to the aviation museum for a while now. Their great grandfather (GG moustache) was a tail-gunner in a bomber during WWII and subsequently worked at the aviation museum until his retirement. We finally went yesterday and they loved it. We spend about 2 and a half hours looking at everything....some things 4 and 5 times! There is still a display in the museum featuring a photo of him and his colleagues recoving a plane from the bottom of a lake in Kapuskasing. The plane they recovered is also still on display. The boys had a lot of fun. Felix really liked seeing a photo of GG moustache and seeing where he sat in the bomber.
The first picture is the boys posing infront of the tail gunner position of a Lancaster bomber (where GG moustache sat as Felix kept saying). The second photo is Hugo preparing for flight!
