The Anson will be joined in its new home by a Bristol Bolingbroke that is presently being restored by the museum. The move of the plane from the RCAF’s hangar on the operational side of the airfield to the museum with the plane intact was a bit tricky, but the ingenious, and no doubt nerve-wracking solution, utilizing a pair of heavy-duty forklifts allowed the 56 foot, 6 inch plane to be lifted over obstacles between the two points, arriving at its new building in the same pristine condition as it was in when it left the RCAF’s hangar.
