We teach about our Canadian military history in WW2, and of course we point out WHO we were fighting against, but we don't need to have Axis planes in our collection. Personally, I don't think that would be very well received by our vistors. With limited money, and space , we don't need to have them in our building.

I can understand the money and space issue, but I would have thought that people would not only want to see the planes there country flew but also those planes that their country fought againts, I know I would.
