AIR TRAINING PLAN WWII MUSEUM

Brandon Location: Brandon Airport
~ McGill Field ~ HW 10 North

The CATP Museum is a non-profit, charitable organization founded and operated by volunteers. The Museum is dedicated to the preservation of the history of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan and serves as a unique memorial to those airmen who trained and served, and especially those who died, while serving their country in the air war of 1939-1945. This is the only Museum in the world dedicated solely to this goal and we think it is fitting that it is located in Manitoba where so much of the training was carried out. |

Canada's XII Dragoons and 26th Field Regiment are military units steeped in tradition. Appropriately housed in Brandon's historic Armoury, the museum's rooms are packed with artifacts, memorabilia and research materials. Curator Ross Neale and his squad of volunteers are on hand to guide visitors through this trove of Canadiana and military history. |
