Inside the Museum, many small changes and additions added to the interesting displays. Two War-time dioramas were completed, helping visitors understand the realities of war: a 404 Norwegian fiord attack, depicting “Black Friday” 9 February 1945, when the Squadron lost six Beaufighter aircraft and eleven airmen – the Squadron’s largest single-day loss, at which ex-CO, Lieutenant-Colonel David Proteau, attended and spoke of the historic event; and a 405 night bombing run, depicting a 405 Pathfinder formation, stacked at various altitudes, with the visitor looking through a bomb aimer’s window as if seated in the nose of a Lancaster. Sound and light simulates the feeling of being “there”. Misty clouds obscure part of the target, and lights simulate target markers dropped by the aircraft, explosions of bombs and enemy flak.
