The Hangar Flight Museum in Calgary has been hit twice in March 2023 by damage to its facilities. On March 6 a winter storm damaged the fabric covered annex to the museum which houses several aircraft for which there is no room in the museum’s main building, a wartime 1941 drill hall built in the style of hangars used by the British Commonwealth Air Training plan during the Second World War.
This screenshot from a Global TV news item provides a view of the Tent Hangar that houses the museum’s Lancaster. Panels of roof fabric have been removed as a result of storm damage. The main building remains open for visitors, but the hangar annex is expected to be closed for four to six weeks while repairs are made.
