List of Royal Canadian Air Force Stations - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 16 List of Royal Canadian Air Force stations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 16 List of Royal Canadian Air Force stations From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a list of stations operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), or stations where RCAF units existed, from 1924 until unification into the Canadian Forces on February 1, 1968. Some of the RCAF stations listed in this article link to facility descriptions containing the prefix "CFB" (Canadian Forces Base) or "CFS" (Canadian Forces Station). These facilities were at one time RCAF stations, but changed to CFBs or CFSs following unification of the Canadian Armed Forces in 1968. Most former RCAF stations still in use by the Canadian Forces are now operated by Air Command (AIRCOM). During the 1990s, most AIRCOM squadrons on Canadian Forces Bases were reorganized into "wings" as the primary lodger unit. Consequently, many Canadian Forces Bases used as air force bases are frequently referred to without the prefix CFB, e.g., "CFB Shearwater" is also referred to as "12 Wing Shearwater", with 12 Wing being the primary lodger unit at CFB Shearwater. All RCAF facilities followed the naming tradition of the Royal Air Force, whereby the prefix RCAF (vs. RAF) was affixed.

The Visions Realised 65 Appendix 67 FOREWORD Air Marshal Sir Frederick Sowrey KCB CBE AFC This is a story of determination and endeavour in the face of many difficulties — the site, finance and "the authorities" — which had to be overcome in the significant achievement of the world's first circular airport terminal building . A concept which seems commonplace now was very revolutionary fifty years ago, and it was the foresight of those who achieved so much which springs from the pages of John King's fascinating narrative. Although a building is the central character, the story rightly involves people because it was they who had to agonise over the decisions which were necessary to achieve anything. They had the vision, but they had to convince others : they had to raise the cash, to generate the publicity, to supervise the work — often in the face of opposition to Gatwick as a commercial airfield.
