By your donation, you can become one of a very select few Halifax Project supporters and fans with the opportunity to start and help run our Bristol Hercules engine on site at the Bomber Command Museum of Canada in Nanton, Alberta during engine runs events! You will be given a full safety briefing and operational procedure instructions so that, under supervision, you will be able to start and participate in a Hercules engine run with our "Halifax crew" team. A great opportunity to be part of the 3-man team that runs the historic Hercules radial engine that powered the famous Halifax, Stirling, and Wellington bombers of WW2!
