It went off with a' bang, headed by the• Dashwood Citizens' Band, who played wond- erful music during the afternoon on the grounds, followed by the parade of the various schools, who really did a lot of preparation, The Majorettes also played their part. Since the weatherman was so kind, a large attendance was in evidence—Zurich Herald.

Monday they were at London ana Aylmer air stations. Air Vice Marshall. The Fighter Wing.-at Gros Ten- einn is to be commanded by Group Captain J. K. MacDonald, 35, of Antigonish, N.S. GC Mac- Donald has for the last year been in command of 426 squadron, fly- ing the Korea airlift. For the time being the Air Div- ision will control only 2 Fighter Wing. No, 1 Fighter Wing, at North Luffenham, will contiue under the operational control of RAF Fighter Command, and 30 Air Material Base, at Langer, in Nottinghamshire, will continue un- der control of Air Material Com- mand Headquarters, Ottawa, Ev- entually both these formations will come Under control of the Air Division, as will other RCAF figh- ter squadrons as they arrive on the Continent from Canada. The Air Division, and those Fighter Wings coming under it, will form part of" the 4th Allied Tactical Air Force. Other forces assigned to the 4th ATAF are the. 12th United States Air Force and the 1st French Air Division. Movement of the three RCAF squadrons to Gros Tenquin will follow the pattern of Leap Frag One, which was the movement last June of 439 Fighter Squadron to North Luffenham. No. 439 flew from its base at Uplands and was the first RCAF jet squadron to make the ocean flight. Other RC- AF squadrons went by sea. The coming operation will be named Leap Frog Two. The squadrons will fly from their home bases to RCAF Sation Goose Bay, Labrador, From there they fly to Bluie West One in southern Greenland and then on to Keflavik, Iceland. From there they will go to Prestwick, Scot- land, and then on to the new base in France. The movement wfll be under' control of the RCAF's Air Trans- port Command ,which handled the flight of 439 Squadron. This squadron left its Canadian -base May 30 and arrived at North Luf- fenham the middle of June. RCAF officials point out that weather conditions will play a big part in the mass movement and that it is not possible to predict closely the actual time that the flight will take. The Sabre, in common with all' jet fighters of its, particular type, is a relatively short-range aircraft and wing tip tanks will be used for the flight, enabling them to carry extra fuel. , Arrival of the squadrons at Gros Tenquin will mark the first time since 1946 that an RCAF opera- tional flying unit has been stat- ioned on the continent, No. 416, one of the three squad- rons to be based at Gros Tenquin, has the distinction of being one of the last four fighter RCAF squad- rons' to be based on the Continent after the Second World War. Nos. 411, 412, 416 and 443 Fighter Squadrons, comprising 126 RCAF Wing, were disbanded March 23, 1946 at Uetersen, Germany. The three squadrons to make the ocean crossing are commanded by Wing Commander J. F. Ed- wards, 31, of Battleford, Sask., (430 Squadron); Squadron Leader J, MacKay, 32, of Edmonton and New' Westminister, B.C. (416 Squadeon); and Squadron Leader R. G.

In The Air Force The Royal Canadian Air Force as making plans to purchase a fleet of 80 Bristol Britannia 65-ton transport aircraft, according to a report in the October issue of Can- adian. Aviation magazine. The magazine claims that Can- adair Aircraft Ltd. in Montreal has been assigned to explore the pros- pect of manufacturing Britannias in Canada for the. RCAF on a lic- ense arrangement with Bristol. The RCAF wants Britannias for two purposes. 1. To replace obsolete Lancast- ers for coastal patrol and anti- submarine duties. For this activ- ity the high4peed high-altitude features of the Britannia would not be required. Thus it is pro- posed to equip the big British de- signed transports with American Wright Cyclone compound piston engines in place of the turbine- propelled Proteus engines of the original design. The piston en- gines would have' lower fuel con- sumption. 2. To succeed the North Star fleet now flown by Air Transport Command and to form a pool of big transport aircraft, considered essential to a wartime logistics program. Trans-Canada Air Lines already has expressed lively interest in the Britannia as a long-range passen- ger carrier, For short range, the airliner can carry up to 107 pas- sengers plus 7,000 lb. of cargo. Cruising speed is 370 mph. at 35 - 000 ft. with propeller-turbine en- gines. The Britannia made its first flight in September.

An incident of interest might be mentioned here in re- lation to one of his relatives liv- ing in Belgium al' the time of the outbreak of the first World War. His aunt, an English • lady, a graduate of an English University was the lady principal of the Royal Belgium Ladies' College in Brussels and one of her close friends was the heroic English nurse Edith Cavell who, though innocent, was imprisoned as a British spy by the Germans. Her case became world famous and although the British and other allied governments protested, the Germans finally executed her. That execution aroused world- wide resentment against the Germans. Harold still possesses letters written to his aunt by Edith Cavell before her impris- onment by the Germans, Remember Mother Give her a box of red berried Holly. All gift wrapped for Christmas.
