Erv,
Some historical information of note for the web site.
I recently obtained an aircraft assignment history for our display
CF-101B. Summary below:
Canadian serial # 101044
Officially taken on strength by the Canadian Armed Forces on
30 June 1970 at Bristol Aerospace, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Assigned to 425 Squadron, CFB Bagotville, Quebec on 7 Dec
1970.
Occasional trips to Bristol Aerospace for depot-level
inspection and repair
Assigned to 409 Squadron at CFB Comox, British Columbia, on
15 Mar 1979
More occasional trips to Bristol Aerospace
Transferred to the NORAD Visitor Center (now us) on 6 July
1984.
This information comes to us with the assistance of Mr. Bill
Nurse and Mr. Martin Keenan, both researchers with the National Air Force
Museum of Canada (www.airforcemuseum.ca).
I’ll work up some similar info on the CF-100 when I’m
able….
