The Toronto Aerospace Museum, located at the former Canadian Forces Base Downsview, Ontario, opened its doors to visitors in early 2000. The TAM's collection is dedicated to aircraft that have a strong connection to Canada. In the fall of 2000, the TAM recovered Avro Lancaster X, FM104 from a plinth on the Toronto waterfront, where it had been mounted as a war memorial in 1964. The museum will commence restoration of FM104 in early 2001.
