Nice site.
I’m looking for information on Flight Lieutenant Michael Manley RCAF, I’m curious to know where he served.
I served 5 years with RCAF 1958 to 1963 as a Radar Tech (Air).
Trained at Clinton. Would like to find some of my old class mates.
Only worked at Portage La Prairie and Greenwood.
My father LAC Wilbur F Miller was a radar mechanic in 10 Bomber Reconnaissance Squadron, 10(BR) stationed at Gander, Nfld. (1941-1944). The squadron was known as the North Atlantic Squadron and Dumbo, the elephant, was their unofficial logo.
My mother was in FCO (Fighter Control Organization?) in 1952 and was stationed in Quebec at a radar base. Her name is Lorna Christine Johannson. Is there any way to find any of her fellow air women? I am her son. She passed away on September 10, 2018.
Trying to contact relatives of Sgt E. L. Levert 141353 RCAF. Wellington LN379ntook off from 3 OADU ( RAF Hurn ) bound for Morocco in the early hours of 7/9/1943 but developed engine problems. All credit to the pilot he managed to crash land the aircraft and both he and Sgt Levert survived. My uncle died in the crash. Sgt Levert visited my grandparents some time after the crash. Any family history of the incident. Thank you.
Sir,
Whilst going through my late Mother's things I found a photograph of a young airman . This photograph was anotated as being 'Bud' Moss. I have been able to identify 'Bud' as being F/O C. Moss who was a member of 427 Squadron but died on 4th July 1944.
Bud was just 21 y.o.at the time the photograph was taken. I feel that this photograph of , even though it is quite small, belongs where it can be appreciated by more people who understand the sacrifice Bud and many of his peers paid.
Can you offer any suggestions where I can send this photograph?
Yours respectfully, John.
I am searching for Robert Campbell, was stationed in Summerside PEI 1962-1963 possibly longer. He was born in Edmonston, NB, possibly between 1937-1942.
I was wondering is anyone knew if these servicemen were still around: JP Potvin, Clerk, Service Number 87182 who resided at 325 14 Ave. South Shebrooke, PQ and JG Menard, Magasinier, Service Number 36496 who resided at 22 Foch St. St. Jean, PQ.
They served at St. Jean in 1967 and witnessed an RCAF will for my dad. I just need to know if they are still alive for the notary.
Hi, I am leading a project to record all Comm & Elec (C&E) Memorials. see http://www.rcsigs.ca/index.php/CandE_Memorials_Project . I'm looking for a RCAF "communicator" to research the memorials associated with the Pinetree System, CFSRS, Clinton, etc. It is not an onerous job and is done in "retired time". One of the benefits of the project will be to identify those memorials in need of maintenance and pass that info onto the C&E Branch leadership for action. Please contact me at tmcharters@gmail.com if interested. Thanks

Hi. I’m interested in finding out if my Grandmother was actually at one time in a BBC radio program dubbed “The Mother of The Royal Canadian Airforce” for the number of her sons at one time in active service. Family name Deutscher.
This has been something I’ve grown up hearing, from my Uncles but I’ve grown more curious after reading some log book entries of one of my uncles.
What can your organization do to direct my investigation?
Anything will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello. I had a unique experience yesterday when I happened to have a discussion with a gentleman at the parking lot of a shopping centre in Ottawa. Carlingwood shooping centre is visited mainly by seniors such as myself. This gentleman was commenting on my new car as he walked past so we entered upon a lovely but short discussion. I immediately notice his impeccable appearance as were his choice and deportment of his casual golf attire. I notice an RCAF cap pin on his cap and that is what started our conversation. It so happens that this chap was turning 100 years old this month so I asked him about his service. He told me that he was in the RCAF for 57 years and that he was an aeronautical engineer. I took the opportunity to introduce myself as the son af a Dutch pilot by my same name who served in the RAF 139 Wind 2nd Tactical Air Force 320 Squadron and that he was one of the few Dutch evacuees from the area of Dunkirk at the end of May 1940. I was so impressed with this gentleman as he was absolutely straight backed, wearing neither glasses or hearing aids and he was about to hop into his BMW coupe. He waved as he left the parking lot. To my total discredit, I never asked his name. But should I meet him again at that shopping centre I will find out his name and update this small note as I believe that there are not too many 100 year old veterans of the RCAF still remaining.
Ironically, as I entered your web site, the front page is adorned by a B25 Mitchell bomber, the aircraft as flown by my father during Market Garden '44.
Chaplain Bob D, in case you see this, I think William Prendergast is my uncle. My father was his younger brother, Don, who wanted to serve in the RCAF like Bill but was too young. He joined the army at 17 1/2 shortly before WW2 ended. In his retirement he restored planes for the Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, Ontario.
My father-in-law was Sgt. Robert E. Toomey, a flight engineer on Lancaster KB751/NA-Q, which was shot down into the sea off Denmark. He was the only survivor, and became a POW after he swam ashore onto the occupied Danish island Sejero.
I have recently finished a website that recounts his ordeal as prisoner on the "long march" after the evacuation of POW camps in January 1945. While at Stalag Luft VII and Stalag III-A he recorded the names, addresses, squadron, rank and duty of many fellow POWs, as well as when and where they were shot down. His diary contains the POW photos of many fellow prisoners. Several prisoners signed "name cards" and airforce insignia drawings that he made while in camp. Maybe you will find your relative among those mentioned in his diary:

My father-in-law, Sgt Robert E. Toomey was a flight engineer on Lancaster KB751 of the RCAF 428 “Ghost” Squadron. He was the only survivor of his crew when they were shot down off the coast of Denmark returning from a raid on the port area of Stettin, Germany on August 16/17, 1944. He became a prisoner at Stalag Luft 7 and endured the long march of more than 250 kilometers to Stalag 3A in January 1945.
I have created a website dedicated to Robert Toomey and to RAF Bomber Command that shows pages from his diary and many photos and drawings he made in camp that were signed by his fellow POWs. Over 80 fellow prisoners are mentioned, and there were POW id photos in his diary with the airmen’s home addresses, squadron, position and the location and date they were shot down.
Here is the link to Sgt. Robert Toomey’s memorial website, dedicated to all who served in RAF Bomber Command.

William Prendergast is a 94 year old man who was part of the RCAF in WWII. He said he served his flying time in the USA. I'm trying to put together his military service in the RCAF so I can honor him for his service. There are several pictures of himself and his buddies hanging up in his room. Unfortunately he can't remember names or squadron or type of airplane. He says he was a pilot of a twin engine, two bladed prop airplane. I have copies of his pictures and I'd love to share them, both for history and to get more information about Bill. Who would I send them to? Help please!
I would appreciate any information on Pilot Officer WDC Beck J23346 who served in the RCAF in WW2. I have a set of navigation dividers in a small wooden marked box dated 1942/3 that belonged to Beck and would be happy to pass these to any interested relative.

I am seeking any RCAF Veteran living in my area who would occasionally consider visiting my father, Col. John L Twambley (Retired) who had an extensive military flying career from early 1950's to '80s. He lives in an Assisted Living unit and would love to "talk about the good ole days!"
While looking for my father in the picture of the 408 Squadon based in Linton on Ouse, last year, I found my Mother instead. I retuned this year with my Dad's photo album and have allowed the Museum to take copies and use them in their displays. What a wonderful museum.

Tribute to The RCAF - My Dad (Robert Hosier) was very proud of his involvement with the RCAF back the 1940's having trained as a bomb aimer and pilot. It was a pride he carried with him throughout his life. He also spoke fondly of the great "Tiger Moth" trainer. Dad passed in 2006 but it brought him much pleasure knowing my work as a Psychotherapist allowed me to support and work with our Veterans from time to time... it still brings me great pleasure as well. It also brings me great pride to be member of the RCAF Association. Best Wishes, Trevor
