On Sunday, September 19^th, in association with 17 Wing Winnipeg’s celebration of the Battle of Britain, the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum will be involved providing a flypast with our Harvard, Stinson, Tiger Moth and Cornell.

This summer we were fortunate to employ 2 summer students. Nate and Parker worked hard doing many tasks over their time here. Parker wrote a short post for the blog. We thank both our students for their hard work, enthusiasm, and dedication! Parker’s post:

“Hello, my name is Parker McKelkie and I am a summer student at the CATPM this summer and it’s been a great experience! I’ve gotten the opportunity to work independently on projects with the creative freedom to work on what I want. I personally was given the opportunity to create the anniversary video. With this I got to “play” with many fancy gadgets I wouldn’t have normally been able to use. The other benefit of working here is how friendly everyone is. From the staff to all the volunteers, the CATPM had been very open and friendly to us through my and my co-workers time here.”
