| louis emard st bruno qc, Quebec | Bel endroit, propre. les personnes qui y travaillent sont très sympathiques. Collection assez impressionnante malgré la situation géographique. Bravo 04/25/2008 @ 06:09 [ref: 7417] |
| Darrell Faryna Leduc, Alberta |  As we were on our way home to Leduc after a camping trip to Montana we noticed a large amount of people around the museum while we were fueling our vehicle. It was the anniversary celebration for the Nanton Lancaster Museum. The mighty Lanc sat on the front tarmac for all to see. You could see the love and care that had gone into this aircraft. The last time I had seen this machine was 25 years ago when it sat outside in the elements, a victom of vandals and abuse. But not anymore. The old girl was looking mighty fine! My two sons (11 & 13) gawked in awe as they wandered around the aircraft. They are both WW2 aircraft fanatics (as am I) and the opportunity to inspect and even touch the Lancaster was something beyond our wildest dreams. But the best was yet to come...the firing of engine #3! The old Merlin belched fire through its exhaust stacks as the prop spun once, twice, a third time and then settled into a loud, smooth roar. Honestly, the hair stood up on the back of my neck, knowing that we were seeing and hearing something that is so very rare these days. Way to go Nanton! You make me proud to be an Albertan! I would recommend this museum to any military aircraft buff. The society's website is also excellent and very informative. A MUST SEE DESTINATION! 08/27/2006 @ 14:28 [ref: 5215] |
| Tom McLaughlin Calgary, Alberta | Why did the British visitor only give 3 stars? Seems the stiff upper lip has clouded this person's judgement, even though he writes how much of a great time they had there. When posting ratings, consider giving a higher mark. 08/09/2005 @ 14:27 [ref: 4321] |
| ColbySchiller Elkford, British Columbia | The last time I visited the museum it was wonderful . The staff at the museum are polite and helpful . I strongly recimend that if you are ever passing through that you stop by and have a look . 04/25/2005 @ 12:08 [ref: 4009] |
| Harry Keyfauver Afton, Wyoming | I have visited your museum several times with my wife, children and grand children,it's a very nice museum, I hope to visit again very soon, I would like to see more donations from interested parties so the Lancaster could be fully restored, it's a part of history that should be told, and never lost. i have a brother who was a B-24 tail gunner and I know what all bomber crews had to face, both britian and the U.S., we are proud of your museum. 03/18/2005 @ 14:55 [ref: 3912] |
| Geoff Brogden Consecon, Ontario |  Hi I have heard much about your Museum, and it has all been better than good, and would like to discover more on the net. But sadly I cannot find the right icon to click on to find it. Would it be too much to ask to have a blatant icon such as, click here for info regarding Nanton Museum, and let it, be there, rather than searching down numerous dead end roads and find it has still eluded you. Thank you. Geoff 11/26/2004 @ 11:55 [ref: 3592] |
| Gord and Carol Chisholm Cranbrook, British Columbia | Just to say that it was a tour worthwhile and that the wife and I took out a membership. We firmly believe that Museums such as the Nanton Museum need to be kept up as a reminder of those who gave thier lives for us!. Excellent display of bygone aircraft that made history. 03/04/2004 @ 20:07 [ref: 3000] |

| william steed north vancouver, British Columbia | Last time I was there, they had a partially assembled Fleet B7 sitting in a corner. Looked to be all there but needing a lot of TLC. The story was that some farmer in Saskatchewan donated it, having bought it when it was sold out as war assets when the Tiger Moth became the standard primary trainer in the Commonwealth. A friend of mine rebuilt one of these aircraft, (the Fleet) and it would appear to be a superior flyer in all respects. 12/25/2000 @ 22:17 [ref: 699] |
