And this just shortly after the horrifi c mass shootings that took place in Nova Scotia on April 19, which also claimed the life of RCMP Consta- ble Helen Stevenson. Unfortunately, on May 17, in Kamloops British Columbia, Operation INSPIRATION was put on operational pause due to the crash of a Snowbird CT-114 Tutor aircraft, which claimed the life of Capt Jennifer Casey, and severely injured Capt Richard MacDougall. Over the period of just a few weeks a number of tragic events have not only impacted Cana- dians, but also our military brothers and sis- ters, and although our troops are professionals who continue to strap their boots on and go to work for us every day, they too are struggling with, or trying to decompress from these tur- bulent times.

  • The the 50Th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics
    The The 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics Branch “In the Shadows of the Limelight” The tales, anecdotes, salty dips and rumoured to be true stories from those who served Edition 1 January 18, 2019 Edited by LCol Mike Hendrigan, CD (Retired) Dedication n putting this collection of stories together, I often wondered if a dedication was required, and it was, how would I word it? I pondered the subject for way too long and as the weeks I turned into months, I thought about possible options and formats. In my research into what I thought would be an easy matter, I found the following information on dedications: A dedication could be addressed to a parent, a sibling or other family member, a friend a supervisor or even a mascot. Ok, this was a start. A dedication could be formal or informal, and provide a reason. There is no one way to write a dedication. Darn, back to square one. So with no right answer, no fixed format and no further ahead, I came up with a couple dedications that seemed appropriate. If you want to see what I came up with, keep reading. Otherwise, skip this part and flip a few pages forward to the first “Log Tale”. On my first attempt, I came up with this: This book is dedicated to the thousands of serving logisticians who will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics Branch on 1 February 2018. That seemed a little too vanilla and bland, so I came up with a second version: To all logisticians, past and present, who supported CAF operations, missions and exercises with honour.

  • HISTORY of the Comox Valley
    HISTORY of the Comox Valley Comox Marina KEY DATES: 1792 First Contact 1862 First Settlers 1874 Wharf Built 1876 Goose Spit Navy Training 1910 Road Access 1914 Railway 1920 Tourism 1942 RAF Airport Focal Point for Development 1956 Civilian Air Terminal Early access to the Comox Valley by settlers was restricted to the sea. Comox was the early focal point of development in the Comox Valley because of its potential for settlement, agriculture, deep water access, and safe moorage in Comox Bay. Pioneer farming, fishing, logging & coal mining was the basis of the early development. The construction of a wharf at Comox facilitated the landing of freight and passengers and further development. For more information visit www.brettcairns.com/comox-valley/ THE COMOX VALLEY and COMOX History Comox is a tranquil and beautiful seaside town located on the southern coast of the Comox Peninsula that juts out into the Georgia Strait on the Eastern side of mid Vancouver Island. The town is nestled against the protected waters of Comox Bay whose entrance is defined by the Comox Spit. The Comox Harbour and its four marinas provide the main commercial and recreational access to the ocean in the Comox Valley. The views across the bay to the Comox Glacier and surrounding area are captivating. The Beginnings The Comox Valley has a rich history dating back more than 85,000 millennia. The Elasmosaurus, a marine reptile genus of plesiosaur, used four flippers to propel itself through water and roam the land roughly 80.5 million years ago. Substantial change occurred during the Earth shaping glacial ages between 650,000 years ago and the last “ice age” that gave way to warming about 20,000 years ago.

  • Canada Aviation Museum Exhibit
    CANADA AVIATION MUSEUM EXHIBIT DE HAVILLAND CANADA CS2F / CP-121 TRACKER RCN / CAF SERIAL 1587 / 12187 IN THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY Introduction The predecessor to the Canadian CS2F Tracker, the S2F, was conceived in 1950 by the Grumman Aircraft Company in response to a United States Navy (USN) Bureau of Aeronautics requirement for a twin engine, carrier-borne Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) aircraft. An interesting stipulation in the original (USN) specifications was that the aircraft must be small enough, with the wings folded, to operate from a relatively small CVE-105 (USN) class aircraft carrier. These smaller aircraft carriers were normally equipped with aircraft elevators located inboard on the flight deck centerline, one forward and the other aft. The dimensions of these elevators governed the size of aircraft that could be moved up and down from the hangar deck below. This elevator configuration and the respective dimensions were almost identical to those of the British built Majestic class aircraft carriers of which the Canadian aircraft carrier Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS) Bonaventure was a derivative. This design feature was probably the single most important reason for selecting this aircraft for use in the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). A formation of four Royal Canadian Navy CS2F-2 Trackers of VS 880 assigned to HMCS Bonaventure. (Bill Upton Collection) Cover Photo Caption: CS2F-3 Tracker, RCN serial 1587 of VS 880, prepares to trap aboard HMCS Bonaventure (CVL 22) during exercises in 1968. Sadly the Royal Canadian Navy ceased to exist in February of that year with the forced integration of all services into the newly designated Canadian Armed Forces, and the CS2F became the CP-121.

  • On the Cover
    On the Cover: For the cover of Edition 1 - 2013: RCEME as Leaders Everywhere, Part 2, the editorial staff of the RCEME Journal wanted to focus on the five EME Branch leaders showcased in the Journal (Cover foreground from left to right: Col (Ret’d) Andrew Nellestyn, CWO Serge Froment, CWO Andy Dalcourt, BGen Alex Patch, BGen (Ret’d) Bill Brewer.) You can read interviews with these five individuals beginning on page 6. It was a challenge to select only a few leaders to interview out of the dozens of men and women who have made dramatic contributions to the EME world over the last decade. A decade is a very short time period to look at when considering the entire history of the EME Branch in Canada, even if we do restrict ourselves to the period from the founding of the EME Branch on 15 May 1944 to today. With that in mind we decided to add two other individuals to the cover of the Journal. General Andrew McNaughton CH, CB, CMG, DSO, CD, PC, and Colonel A.L. Maclean are two of the founding members of the EME trade in the Canadian Armed Forces and no discussion on today’s leadership would be complete without some mention of their contributions. These were two of the builders of the Branch and their influence is still being felt today. General Andrew McNaughton Colonel A.L. Maclean General McNaughton, an electrical engineer, joined the Canadian Colonel Maclean served 31 years in the Canadian Armed Forces during Armed Forces militia in 1909 and went overseas almost immediately which time he saw action in World War Two, rising to command the 1st following the beginning of hostilities of the First World War.
