80th Anniversary of #12 SFTS

#12 Service Flying Training School, Brandon, Manitoba, had its Grand Opening on July 19th, 1941 to much fanfare and many visitors. After having our museum closed for months due to the pandemic it was wonderful to open on such a historic day. Over the next few days please look for video of his Worship Mayor Chrest bringing greetings from the City and comments and a presentation from Museum President, John McNarry. Over the next week we will also be sharing some excellent historic photos as well.
