Two War-time dioramas were completed, helping visitors understand the realities of war: a <strong>404 Norwegian fiord attack<\/strong>, depicting &#8220;Black Friday&#8221; 9 February 1945, when the Squadron lost six <strong>Beaufighter<\/strong> aircraft and eleven airmen &#8211; the Squadron&#8217;s largest single-day loss, at which ex-CO, Lieutenant-Colonel <strong>David Proteau<\/strong>, attended and spoke of the historic event; and a 405 night bombing run, depicting a <strong>405 Pathfinder formation<\/strong>, stacked at various altitudes, with the visitor looking through a bomb aimer\u2019s window as if seated in the nose of a Lancaster. Sound and light simulates the feeling of being \u201cthere\u201d. Misty clouds obscure part of the target, and lights simulate target markers dropped by the aircraft, explosions of bombs and enemy flak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highlights <strong>Greenwood Military Aviation Museum:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Aircraft Collection<\/strong>: The museum features 15 aircraft, including an Avro Lancaster, a rare World War II bomber that participated in missions over continental Europe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Indoor and Outdoor Displays<\/strong>: Visitors can explore both indoor exhibits and an outdoor display of 10 aircraft, offering a closer look at aviation history.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Restoration Projects<\/strong>: The <strong>Greenwood Military Aviation Museum<\/strong>\u2019s annex showcases two fully restored World War II aircraft, meticulously brought back to their original state by skilled volunteers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Features:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Educational Exhibits<\/strong>: The <strong>Greenwood Military Aviation Museum<\/strong> offers detailed displays and interpretations of the history and significance of Base Greenwood and its aviation contributions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Community Role<\/strong>: As a prominent cultural institution in the Annapolis Valley, the museum provides an engaging experience for aviation enthusiasts, history buffs, and families alike.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Greenwood Military Aviation Museum, located at 14 Wing Greenwood in Nova Scotia&#8216;s Annapolis Valley, is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the history of military&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4220","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4220","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4220"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4220\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33129,"href":"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4220\/revisions\/33129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
