The British Columbia Aviation Museum is located in Sidney, British Columbia, Canada. It is on the grounds of the Victoria International Airport at 1910 Norseman Road on the east side of the airport.[1]

The Museum consists of a display area spread over two hangars, a classroom, a restoration workshop and a gift shop. Displays include historical civilian and military artifacts including uniforms, medals and models.[2] Aircraft are displayed and museum volunteers are constantly working on restoring new acquisitions.[3]

History

In September 2018 the museum acquired Avro Lancaster FM104, which is one of only 17 surviving Lancasters in the world. The aircraft, which was formerly in storage in Toronto, is now under restoration to airworthy status and will be finished in her post-War search-and-rescue configuration.[4] In January 2021, the museum acquired an Grumman S2F Tracker that had been in storage with the Canadian Military Education Centre.[5] The museum acquired a CF-104 in July 2023 and two Piasecki H-21s that September.[6][7][8] In March 2024, the museum announced it was acquiring one of two surviving Martin Mars flying boats, the Hawaii Mars, from Coulson Aviation.[9] The aircraft arrived at the museum on August 11, 2024 and is currently being prepared to be opened to the public on September 28th.[10]
