CANADIAN MUSEUM OF FLIGHT: Rare and Historic Aircraft

The Canadian Museum of Flight aviation museum at the Langley Regional Airport in Langley, British Columbia displays the last Handley Page Hampden aircraft of its type in existence.

This Handley Page Hampden was used in coastal patrol on the BC coast in World War II and crashed offshore in 1942. It was recovered in 1985 and was restored over a twenty-year period. The rare aircraft is stored outdoors, and on 26 December 2008, an especially heavy snowfall broke the left wing spars. This caused the wing to separate from the fuselage. Over the Summer of 2012, a rebuilt replica wing was fixed to the root and is now open for public display once again.

The museum also has over 25 civilian and military jets, piston driven engine aircraft, gliders, and helicopters on display, six of which have been restored to flying condition.
