  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Historical Paper No.3
    HALIFAX MILITARY HERITAGE PRESERVATION SOCIETY Historical Paper No. 3: Byrd at Baker’s Point October 19, 2016 Abstract: HMHPS Historical Paper No 3: Byrd at Baker’s Point Canadian naval aviation began in August 1918 at Baker’s Point, now the lower part of 12 Wing Shearwater in Eastern Passage. It was not founded by Canadians however, but by a United States Navy detachment under the command of Acting Lieutenant- Commander Richard E. Byrd, Jr. Byrd later went on to international fame for his aviation and polar firsts. The short-lived detachment he established eventually became the basis for Canadian naval aviation and was later known successively as RCAF Station Dartmouth, HMCS Shearwater and CFB Shearwater. It is now a part of CFB Halifax. The undersigned would be pleased to receive any comments or questions regarding this paper at [email protected]. John Boileau Chair, Halifax Military Heritage Preservation Society [email protected] December 19, 2016 HMHPS Historical Paper No. 3: Byrd at Baker’s Point Introduction In September 1918, two Curtiss HS-2L flying boats roared across the Atlantic, heading skyward and seaward in response to a reported sighting of a German submarine some 50 kilometres southeast of the entrance to Halifax Harbor. Behind them, serving in the role of airplane guard, a torpedo boat brought up the rear. In the lead aircraft, the two pilots and an aviation mechanic—the latter seated well forward and pressed into service as an observer—anxiously scanned the water’s surface. The land rapidly disappeared behind them, but meanwhile something else had also disappeared—the other aircraft.
