“AERODROME OF DEMOCRACY” 

Exhibit opens at the Elgin County Heritage Centre, 460 Sunset Drive, St. Thomas

British Commonwealth Air Training Plan lands at Heritage Centre.

The British Commonwealth Air Training Plan which President Roosevelt called the “Aerodrome of Democracy” was established 80 years ago this year. Formed to trained airmen and ground crews in the free skies over Canada, the plan saw over 100 airfields built throughout Canada including three located in Elgin County. This exhibition looks at those three bases including #4 Bombing and Gunnery School in Fingal now a wildlife preserve; #14 Service Training Flying School near Aylmer, now the Police College, and its relief field built on the site of the present St. Thomas Airport. 

The exhibition also features several individual fliers including a navigator, three pilots, a ground crewman and an air gunner, Tom Campbell, a 20-year-old air gunner from St. Thomas lost over Germany in February of 1945. 

The exhibit includes a total of 12 scale models of the various training aircraft used in the Plan many of which would have been a daily sight for many residents of the county during the war. Uniforms, posters, equipment and even a practice bomb from Fingal Bombing and Gunnery School can be found in the show.

Visitors include locals as well as kite enthusiasts from across Ontario, upper New York, and Michigan. This colourful dance of kites can be seen from a considerable distance with as many as 100 kites in the air at a time. Passers by often pull over to the side of the road to witness this unique visual spectacle that is unlike any other in the region. This is a FREE event for the whole family!
