Fleet 16B Finch at the Canadian Museum of Flight

The Canadian Museum of Flight (formally the Canadian Museum of Flight Association since 1998) is an aviation museum at the Langley Regional Airport in Langley, British Columbia, Canada. The museum 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. Other displays include an aviation art gallery and aviation artefacts.

Hampton bomber

The museum's Handley Page Hampden is the last of its type in existence. The aircraft 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, causing the wing to separate from the fuselage of the Hampton.^[1]
