The Comox Air Force Museum's Guide to the Aircraft of the Heritage Air Park
The Comox Air Force Museum’s Guide to the Aircraft of the Heritage Air Park By Dan Brennan *All photographs found in this guide are subject to copyright and cannot be reused without the express written permission of the owner. Canadair CL-28 Argus Mark I Argus 10719 of 415 Squadron on maritime patrol. From Greek mythology, the “Argus” was an all-seeing creature with 100 eyes. This name was appropriate due to the numerous highly sophisticated sensing devices carried on board, with antennas everywhere. Note the large nose radome of the Mark I. Protruding from the tail is the MAD Boom, a Magnetic Anomaly Detector which detects the magnetic field surrounding a steel submarine. The Canadian-built, Canadair Argus was a unique hybrid that employed the wings, tail surfaces and undercarriage of the British designed Bristol Britannia transport aircraft, married to a completely new unpressurized fuselage of Canadian design and equipped with different American-designed engines. One of the most effective anti-submarine warfare aircraft of its day, the Argus was a mainstay for the RCAF in the maritime role. The principal difference between the Mark I and Mark II was primarily in the different navigation, communication and tactical electronic equipment fitted internally. Externally, the Mark II exhibited a redesigned smaller nose radome and additional ECM antennae above the fuselage. The Argus replaced the Lancaster and Neptune aircraft types and eventually, the Argus was itself to be replaced by the current Lockheed CP-140 Aurora aircraft. The Argus flew with the Maritime Proving & Evaluation Unit and the following Squadrons: 404, 405, 407, 415, and 449. -
75Th Anniversary of 407 Squadron Aircraft Forced Landing in Norway
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2019 Volume 61, #19 75th anniversary of 407 Squadron aircraft forced landing in Norway 407 Long Range Patrol Squadron Chief Warrant Officer CWO Serge Harvey meets with the latest generation of descendants of the Milorg, local residents, and the Canadian crew at a small wooden cabin in the mountains named “Little Canada” – the place where the Canadians hid while the Milorg coordinated an escape from Norway back to Allied territory. The six-man crew of the Vickers Armstrong Wellington GR Mk XIV bomber, a grandfather of today’s CP-140 Aurora, were flying an anti-submarine patrol over Norwegian waters on September 26, 1944, when one of the plane’s two engines caught fire. Command- ing Officer of 407 Squadron LCol Patrick Castonguay looks on; the visit to Little Canada took place on the third day of a 75th anniversary commemorative event. For the full story see pages 2 and 3. Photo provided by Callie Biddle, a descendant of First Officer Gordon Biddle, a pilot of the downed aircraft.
