Canadian Naval Aviation

The Canadian Naval Aviation Exhibit features the history of Naval Aviation from the creation of the Royal Canadian Naval Air Service in 1918, the Second World War, to 1975 when naval aviation was discontinued when the RCAF took on that role. The exhibit highlights the equipment, personnel, and the aircraft carriers off which they flew.

The exhibit also includes examples of three Naval Aircraft:

• The Supermarine Seafire which is one of the only two remaining Mk XVs
• The Hawker Sea Fury
• The F2H Banshee jet fighter that flew from HMCS Bonaventure
