Absolutely fascinating
Having paid our admission, we were greeted by a very friendly man, a volunteer I assume, whose name I should have asked in order to give him praise on this site. Mea culpa: I did not. Anyway, he gave a full account of the Handley Page Halifax heavy bomber that is prominently displayed in the hall, complete with the story of the April 1945 mission that left it sunk in the Norwegian lake from which it was retrieved 50 years later. After that we were on our own, and we toured both the hall, which has lots of history, and the park full of military aircraft outside, including a Spitfire, a Hurricane, and an F86 Sabre. Great stuff. Highly recommended for kids and adults!

Lots to see
Because my Dad, who was a WWII veteran as well as a peacetime RCAF Cpl in Trenton, I wanted to visit the museum. The grounds are laid out well, permitting a good area in which to view everything and the nostalgia associated with the remembrance bricks and plaques makes the visit well worthwhile. If you have no one to feel nostalgic about, there are still lots of aircraft to see.
