Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum & RCAF WWII Memorial

Located at McGill Field (Brandon Municipal Airport) in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada

Open every day of the week from 10 am – 4 pm!

Volunteers needed! Check out the ways you can volunteer here !

We are a Manitoba Signature Museum, A Manitoba Star Attraction, and a National Historic Site!

We respect the treaties that were made on these lands and acknowledge that the CATPM is located on Treaty 2 Lands, the traditional homelands of the Dakota, Anishanabek, Oji-Cree, Cree, Dene and Metis peoples.

Step back into time in our vintage hangar. See training and other aircraft from WWII, as well as vehicles and artifacts from that era. The British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) was an important piece in Canada’s development as a nation. People came from many countries to train as aircrew in the fight against the axis powers. Come and learn all about this important plan. You can also book a flight in one of our historic airworthy aircraft, including a Tiger Moth, Cornell, and Harvard! See restoration projects under way! Pay your respects at the RCAF WWII Memorial Wall or in the Chapel.
