Hi Everyone,
Just back from visiting the Museum in Ottawa, sadly for me they decided to close the main museum on the day I arrived in Ottawa and only gave people 1 month's notice. I had booked a package deal on January 8th for my visit to Ottawa and was well past the date when I could change things, so I had to accept things as they were. They told me they needed to close down to change things around to fit in a CC 115.They even closed the upper gallery so people could not see anything,even though it would have no effect on the safety aspect as they move aircraft around. They did make available tours of the reserve collection. I was the only one on the tour at 1030 that morning, I thought the whole place was closed because so many people were leaving when I arrived.

As I was buying my ticket I did manage to see the Lancaster KB944, Lysander VR9415,Spitfire NH188 in the main hangar and CT 114 114055 hanging in reception.
Overall the tour guide was very good. However, the management and operating staff had no interest in how their decision to close with such short notice, had disappointed so many people on holiday.
