The Calgary Aerospace Museum painted their Lanc with a protective finish designed to protect the airframe from further corrosion. They applied the finish in late October.
They have launched an ambitious campaign to build a new hanger. First phase will cover the Lanc first.
All turrets have been beautifully restored and are on display inside the museum, as well as the elevators. The cockpit has also been extensively restored.
