Troubling Recon @ Base Borden Museum
I stopped in today (July 19th) for a quick look 'round and was pleased by the museum progress that has been acheived.
Museum's posted hours are Mondays -Closed, Tuesday thru Friday 0900-1500, Saturday's & Sundays 1300-1600.
Vehicle building (southern most tank hanger) open with MVs ranging from horse drawn wagons thru a cut-away T-55.
Central tank hanger open with airplane scale models and a CF-5 fighter jet inside.
Attached small arms museum not to open for another two weeks yet.
New aircraft museum (under re-construction) being installed in several of the 1917 vintage airplane hangers over at the airfield flight line area.
Several ex-Cdn military aircraft still up on concrete plinths in different areas around the Base.
Ditto for many repainted (to weather-proof only - no historical markings nor historic colours used) ex-Cdn military vehicles and WW2 German artillery pieces.
Liked the Museum BUT ...
... ... ...
A very sad state of affairs for Canada.
But, the new Museum is good. Needs more artifact displays to be set-up inside but that will come as volunteers have the chance to put in more time & effort.
