 40th Death Anniversary of a brave Ceylonese Airman

As part of my project for the Communications Technology Class at school, I had to design a webpage for a local charity and drive web traffic to it through social media sites. I chose the National Air Force Museum of Canada (in Trenton, Ontario).

www.airforcemuseum.ca/

I chose this museum for several reasons. This museum preserves the military aviation history of Canada. It has a number of great aircraft on display including the Spitfire, Hurricane and it has the only restored Handley Page Halifax bomber in North America.  With the 100 year anniversary of the First World War coming up in August 1914, I believe there will be a lot of interest shown about Canada's role in Military aviation. The First World War was the first time airplanes were used in combat. Canada produced some notable Aces in that war, including Billy Bishop VC.

I also chose this museum as the recipient of my donation page as I wanted to honour a brave Ceylonese airman, Rohan Amerasekera, who served as a Navigator with the RAF, He flew 52 operations, mostly over Germany. His ops were flown in the Halifax bomber aircraft. March 20, 2014 will be his 40th Death Anniversary,

I hope you all will donate generously.  Please share this link with your friends and family.
