Twenty-five years ago a small group of individuals formed the Nanton Lancaster Society to create a tourist attraction out of one sad looking old bomber. Not one of them visualized what then result would be this many years later. from one lone bomber to 14 aircraft, a myriad of small artifacts and memorabilia, housed in a 40,000 sq. ft. museum, in a small town of 2000 persons, now known world wide! Your help and support made it all possible!
With then recent arrival of the Hastings / Halifax engines, centre-sections, etc., from Malta, plus four Bristol Hercules engines and parts from Terrace, B.C., we have started off the next 25 years with a bang!
While the Hali items are a tremendous addition to our museum's collection, they have created some problems. The need for additional floor space is again looming. Transportation of the Halifax items has at this time left our museum's bank account and that of our partner, 57 Rescue (Canada) quite low on funds.
Such problems are not new to us, they just reoccur! As in the past we shall overcome! However, any assistance received from you, the members, will help us to continue with our preservation efforts and will be much appreciated!
Having spent the past 25 years helping the museum come into being, I sincerely hope it will continue to expand and be upgraded. Recently members of the next generation have shown great interest in helping with our preservation efforts. That is indeed a good indicator that its existence is assured.
