A free open house at the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum is being hosted to honour the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) on April 1.

Visitors can attend the season’s kick-off afternoon event running from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

“Visitors will be invited to travel back to the 1940s while touring a WWII vintage hangar, aircraft, vehicles and hundreds of artifacts from that era, as well as the RCAF WWII Memorial wall that honours all of the RCAF that lost their lives during WWII,” the museum stated in a media release.

The Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum is Canada’s only air museum dedicated to preserving those who trained and fought for the British Commonwealth during the Second World War, a museum statement reads.

The Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum is proud to be one of the seven Manitoba Signature Museums, a Manitoba Star Attraction and a National Historic Site.

Coffee and dainties from Chez Angela will be served at the event held at the CATP Museum, Brandon Municipal Airport, on HW 10, 1.6 km north
of Brandon.
