    CANADA'S AIR WAR 1945 updated 21/04/08 January 1945 424 Sqn. and 433 Sqn. begin to re-equip with Lancaster B.I & B.III aircraft (RCAF Sqns.). 443 Sqn. begins to re-equip with Spitfire XIV and XIVe aircraft (RCAF Sqns.). Helicopter Training School established in England on Sikorsky Hoverfly I helicopters. One of these aircraft is transferred to the RCAF. An additional 16 PLUTO fuel pipelines are laid under the English Channel to points in France (Oxford). Japanese airstrip at Sandakan, Borneo, is put out of action by Allied bombing. Built with forced labour by some 3,600 Indonesian civilians and 2,400 Australian and British PoWs captured at Singapore (of which only some 1,900 were still alive at this time). It is decided to abandon the airfield. Between January and March the prisoners are force marched in groups to a new location 160 miles away, but most cannot complete the journey due to disease and malnutrition, and are killed by their guards. Only 6 Australian servicemen are found alive from this group at the end of the war, having escaped from the column, and only 3 of these survived to testify against their guards. All the remaining enlisted RAF prisoners of 205 Sqn., captured at Singapore and Indonesia, died in these death marches (Jardine, wikipedia). On the Russian front Soviet and Allied air forces (French, Czechoslovakian, Polish, etc, units flying under Soviet command) on their front with Germany total over 16,000 fighters, bombers, dive bombers and ground attack aircraft (Passingham & Klepacki).

  • The Ss North Coaster, One of Three
    CHAPTER 10 The s.s. North Coaster, one of three “B” Type coasters owned and operated by Clarke THE QUEBEC NORTH SHORE, NEWFOUNDLAND AND CHARTERING The 1950s would see an economic boom along the Quebec North Shore, and the fleet serving this coast now consisted of the North Shore, North Pioneer and North Coaster, and the North Gaspé by winter. Clarke was well placed to take part in this growth. Equally, with Newfoundland having become part of Canada in 1949, the Gulfport and Novaport formed the core of the company's service to Canada's tenth province. But Clarke ships alone would not be able to satisfy the demand. Clarke ships had always carried both passengers and cargo, but the latter was now becoming increasingly more important. In addition to general cargo, project cargo would flow to the mining and power developments springing up in Quebec and Labrador and consumer traffic would grow to Newfoundland, while backhaul cargoes would be loaded for delivery to Port Alfred, Quebec, Trois Rivières and Montreal. To serve these markets, more ships would soon have to be chartered in to supplement the core fleet. While the late 1940s had often seen Clarke chartering its ships to others, the 1950s would turn out to be Clarke's biggest period by far for chartering ships from other owners. From early days the company had been active in chartering vessels as required for its various scheduled and non- scheduled services. These ships were normally paid for on the basis of a negotiated amount of charter hire per day, called time charter, although there were occasions when the company would engage ships for a lump sum for delivery of a certain cargo on a voyage charter.

  • Kent Line Limited and Atlantic Towing Limited
    October 30, 2007 This is the Tenth Section of the manuscript “Radio Stations Common? Not This Kind” by Spurgeon G. Roscoe Radioman Special Royal Canadian Navy 1956-1961 Graduate Radio College of Canada, Toronto Graduate National Radio Institute, Washington First Class Certificate of Proficiency in Radio # 6-108 Coast Guard Radiotelegraph Operators Certificate # 054 Amateur Radio Station VE1BC KENT LINE LIMITED AND ATLANTIC TOWING LIMITED Many tankers over the years have been registered in Canada, carried a Radio Officer and were owned by a number of the world’s major oil companies via a Canadian subsidiary. The only company I will mention is located in Saint John, New Brunswick. The radio operators in this fleet contacted station VCS on a regular basis and some of these operators came ashore and operated the stations in this area. The ships making up this fleet that were fitted with radiotelegraph were registered under Kent Line Limited. This fleet started in 1934 with a 729 gross ton tanker named ELKHOUND. She was registered in Saint John, New Brunswick, and assigned call sign VCXL. She did not have a radio of any description and the call sign was for visual communications only. ELKHOUND was sold to B. Hill and Sons at Bristol, England in 1943 and was last listed in 1948. She had been built at Bristol in 1929. This fleet started immediately after World War II with the WILDWOOD PARK a 10,000-deadweight ton tanker. This tanker was renamed IRVINGDALE in 1947 and was registered in Canada with her original call sign VDYJ.

  • Opportunities for Cooperation Between EU and Japan On
    EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation Opportunities for Cooperation between EU and Japan on Biotechnology in Healthcare: Japan Bioventures Landscape Tokyo, April 2018 Esther RODERGAS 1 Disclaimer The information contained in this publication reflects the views of the author and not necessarily the views of the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation, the European Commission or Japan authorities. The author believes that this paper is reliable and reasonably clear. While utmost care was taken to check and translate all information used in this study, the author and the EU-Japan Centre may not be held responsible for any errors that might appear. This report does not constitute legal advice in terms of business development cases. The author can be contacted at [email protected] 2 Executive Summary Japan is one of the major countries that European biotech companies target in their expansion when it comes to internationalisation. This report intends to be a useful source of information for European SMEs and clusters considering potential cooperation with Japan. In the healthcare sector, and more specifically in the therapeutics development field, partnerships between European and Japanese pharmaceutical companies well established in their respective local markets has typically involved License agreements on co-development and commercialisation rights. The Japanese inlicensor would typically get the rights on a product of European origin to pursue its clinical development in Japan, obtain the local regulatory approval, and commercialise it in the domestic Japanese market. The reverse situation was possible as well, when products developed in Japanese companies pipelines were licensed-out to European based companies.

  • Making History Together
    making history together Seattle heritage and cultural organizations providing year-round learning and inspiration at the water’s edge. P. 2 making history together Our beautiful city is fortunate to be defined by many diverse bodies of water. From Puget Sound to Lake Union through the Ship Canal to Lake Washington, from the Duwamish River to our four urban creek systems, these bodies of water in many ways define who we are as a city. They frame our sensibilities and priorities by providing habitat for mammals, fish, birds and insects. For people, they enable us to enjoy boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, and endless beach activities. The development of Lake Union Park realizes a longtime city vision to revisit and present the rich history of the site and its relationship to the water. The Olmsted Brothers, who designed the nucleus of our park system, envisioned a grand urban park at this site. Through our partnerships with Seattle Parks Foundation, The Center for Wooden Boats, the United Indians of All Tribes, Northwest Seaport, South Lake Union Friends and Neighbors (SLUFAN), the Museum of History & Industry, and others, we are able to turn vision into reality. When newcomers first settled at the site, it was the home of the Duwamish people. Imagine their walking paths meandering through the timber, connecting the lake village with Native settlements to the east and west. Soon historic panels at the park will tell the whole history, from the arrival of the settlers through the building of the streetcar to the opening of the Ship Canal to the construction of The Boeing Airplane Company.
