They were billited at RAF Brize Norton overnight, and the following morning travelled to Frankfurt, Germany. This was the assembly point for all the IACE cadets. The next morning the cadets met the others going to Norway. There were two Canadian, two British, two French, two Israelies, and eight Americans, along with one escort from America, and one escort from Norway.

The group landed at Bardufoss "Flystasjon" which is three degrees of latitude above the Arctic Circle. It was cold and raining when they arrived. But the officers' quarters they stayed in were comfortable. 'After two days they went even further north by bus to Tromso At this time of year the sun never goes down in northern Norway There is just 24 hours of sunlight After a two day tour of Tromso they headed south again to Bar- dufoss. "We stayed for three days there this time, and saw a demonstration of "Leopard Tanks" and had a chance to go up in a glider. After this we headed south to Narvik," Rick said. "There we stayed with our "host families" for the weekend. They were very interested in our coun- try and. the air cadet organiza- tion. After the two days we again travelled to Bardufoss where we had an hour ride in a Bell Huey' Helicopter, saw a plane do aerobatics and had a farewell party." The next day they flew south to Bergan, where a four day stop over was planned. "We spent the four days with our second host family. We toured the museums and visited the air field in this city. We departed from Bergan by boat which travelled south to Stavanger. There we were the guests of the Solo Flying Club. They took us flying, on a fishing trip, let us fly RC model aircraft, let us watch F-5 jet aircraft target shooting and took us on a sight seeing tour of the area." They departed from Solo aboard a shyvan which took them to Oslo for the last part of the journey. "In Oslo we toured the city and surrounding area. We stayed in an old WW2 prison that had been converted to officers' quarters. On the last night there we had a farewell banquet." The next morning they departed for Frankfurt, Ger- many where the Canadian Cadets rejoined for the trip back home.
