The Canadair CL28 (CP107) was a Canadian adaptation of the Bristol Britannia with four Wright R-3350 engines for long range anti-submarine patrol missions. A total of 33 were built and they flew for two decades with 5 squadrons (Nos. 404, 405, 407, 415, 449) from bases in Greenwood, NS, Summerside, PEI and Comox, BC. Argus 20717 (later 10717, but now painted as 107717) was accepted in June 1958 and spent most of its career based at Greenwood until retired in March 1980. Five Argus are displayed at museums (Ottawa, Trenton, Summerside, Greenwood & Comox) and a sixth stored by WCAM at Gimli, MB.

A decade after the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) took delivery of the last of 18 Lockheed CP-140 Aurora maritime patrol aircraft in 1982, the CAF took delivery of three CP-140A Arcturus aircraft in 1992 (without sophisticated ASW systems) primarily for pilot training and surface patrol missions . Aircraft 140119 was completed by IMP Group at Halifax Airport and delivered to the CAF in December 1992. It was retired to ground instruction use sometime prior to 2005 and transferred to the museum in 2016. The two other CP-140As were retired to AMARG Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ in 2010.

The Museum restored this Vertol 44 as No 9592 serving with No. 103 Rescue Unit at Greenwood in the 1960s. Built in March 1960, it later flew at RCAF Chatham until retired in November 1971. Sold to Nahanni Helicopters in 1973 as CF-BSG, it was later abandoned in Fort Simpson, NWT and salvaged by Garth Walker of Comox, BC c.1980 who planned to use it for logging. The museum obtained the rear cabin of 9592 from collector Byron Reynolds in Alberta and later acquired US Army H-21 53-4365 for its front cabin and other parts since a snowplow accidentally crushed the front cabin of 9592 in BC.
