Im trying to find out more information on Mr. Gordon Roy McGregor. RCAF and his life when he retired. This is for personal reasons and I would like to get in contact with anyone who knew of him well maybe Or his family to contact. His wife was Alexandra may. Please email for more info or advise. Best wishes. Thanks

First time looked at our RCAFA site carefully and was dissapointed. Could not find anything or at least I could not find anything about the annual convention. We are possibly attending, know it is in London ON. Make it easier to contact staff, home page with email and phone numbers.

Out of the inheritance of my father who passed away recently, I found 2 pictures from april '44. As a small child he remembered that a plane was shot down close to where they lived, a hamlet called Heer (close to Maastricht, south of the Netherlands, triangle Germany/Belgium). Research learns it was a Handley Page Halifax MK II bomberplane. Serialnumber JN954, callsign VR-R, force 419th sq). The crew came from Sioux-Ontario, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia. Obviously 6 of the crew died in the cockpit, one was thrown out in the blast. So that must be the one on the picture. However, I don't know who it is. The crew is buried on the municipal cemetery in Maastricht, where there is a monument. I'll go upthere soon as I didn't know that either. I myself am a voluntary guide at the (ABMC) American Memorial Cemetery in Margraten, where also a few Canadian soldiers are buried (Joseph van Troyen and Ole Nelson, both bombersquad). The info on the crashed bomber comes from the book RAF bomber command losses 1944. The names of the crew were: R.A. McIvor, S.J. Ridgen, J.D.Bremner, S.H.Goulding, W.T.Claridge, E.R.Dujay, K.D.Tucker. It would mean a lot to me to find out more about them, the one on the picture and maybe even getting in touch with relatives to send them pictures of the Maastricht cemetery. The picture and the story meant a lot to my dad and I want to do this also in his remembrance. Please, if anyone has info or is willing to forward this message to ?? With a lot of thanks

Thank you Canada. My family went to Thunder over Louisville April 23rd. You were well represented. I appreciated your participation but most of all I'd like you to know how kind and polite one of your pilots was. He was so kind to our adopted son (5). I took their picture to send to a man in Belgium and the pilot was having breakfast and was very accommodating. He was the perfect Ambassador for Canada. I didn't get his name but he flew the plane with the long nose. Brandt told everyone at preschool this morning. Please give this guy an extra Thank you for us.

Looking for the family of Roger Lessard service number R127314. I have personal effects to return to his family.

In reply to Robert Grant's post of 14 Oct,2015. Your Dad and my father George were lifelong great friends. Dad told me about the day that he and your Dad decided to join up with the RCAF. Both ended up on the same base in Yorkshire but in different squadrons. They returned to Skipton on Swale many years, do you have a picture of them there? Regards, Rob

I miss my Dad every day, however as Remembrance Day approaches it hits very hard. I did not find my Dad on your site...disappointing. But thanks to all that participated in 1,2, Korea and continue to honour our Country and us by putting their lives on the line for total strangers....and a Country of people that all to often take freedom for granted.

Hello. I have a photo from my Mum's autograph book, dated c.1944 signed by a CR Higgins RCAF which I hoped might be of interest? I'd be delighted to forward it over if you can provide me with a suitable email address. Kind regards, Jonathan Taylor

Many R.C.A.F. airmen lost their lives in Northern Ireland during WW2 and I have been photographing their Headstones and putting the picture along with some information onto my website "The Second World War in Northern Ireland" to show that these brave men are never forgotten. Please visit my website at http://www.ww2ni.webs.com

looking for my husband's service number from WW2. His name was Joseph William Carr and he was a FO in the RCAF. Served overseas as a bomb aimer and navigator. Birth date October 10 1924. Died 2006.

I have written a book which centers on a Canadian crew based in N/E England during WW2. Although it's partly a love story, it is also a tribute to those gallant young men from overseas to came to fight for Britain during her hour of need. The book is on Amazon (and Kindle) and is called Whichever Way the Wind Blows by D.M.Wynn. Read it and understand just what they had to go through. I woud be grateful for your feedback. Many thanks.

I am desperately trying to find more information about pilot Officer Hugh MacLachlan Aitchison RCAF attached to 75 Squad RAF who died on 15 September 1941 and is buried at Hamburg Cemetery. That is all I have been able to find through search engines. I heard he had been awarded a medal of some kind but find no trace of same.I was told many years ago that he was in a lockheed Hudson when he was shot down but I do not know if this is accurate. I am an old lady now and need to find out all I can about Hugh so tnat his memory can be kept alive by my children and grandchildren. Can Anyone help.

Looking fore information on Ted Argue of 403 Squadron. He was my supervisor when I was working for Customs and Excise in 1969. I need his aircraft serial number and aircraft codes so that I may make a spitfire model of his aircraft.

To all of our veterans you made us proud during the campaigns and continue to this day....my the eagles fly high....and God Bless

Enjoy reading the stories presented here. I served in the RNAF from 1951 to 1957 and came to Canada where I joined the 306 Maple Leaf RCAFA mess on Sherbrooke Str Montreal and had a jolly good time with the fellow members at the time. I now see more and more old timers going on permanent soaring duty in the great blue yonder......pitty !

Served at 104 KU and 414 (EW) Sqn. 1962 - 1968 A wonderfull posting.

I was hoping someone might have information on my grandfather James Edward McDonald. I have a picture of him in uniform. After researching the badge, I have determined it is a WW2 RCAF air gunner badge. He was born in 1925, and was living in Toronto, Ontario during WW2. I can be reached at familyroots41@hotmail.com. Thanks.

My Father, F/O Peter T. Walsh was a pilot in WW2, primarily flying Halifax.He received DFC. I am a documentary film maker presently developing a film on his service and of the men in his squadron RAF/RCAF # 192. He was born in Toronto and served into 1945. I would like to contact any servicemen who might have information re: his service, Squadron 192, fellow Squadron members or ground crew etc, or any archives or contacts I should search. I have a copy of his log (parts were classified) Thank You PW

Found an amazing report of my Grandfather's time with the RCAF - he just turned 99 last week and I can't wait to share this with him!

Hello all. I was with 104 KU from 1963 to 1965 and then 414 (EW) Sqn until Sep 1968...... Lots of fond memoreis of the RCAF and of course... Montreal.

By the way Heather, if you wish to follow up on your reading and do not have all the details of your Dad, send along an E mail and maybe can help. By the way when I was at Juno, a large very medal, made up from metals from many German different materials from their various armaments used during the Juno Beach affair; was presented to me by the local Director for PFF actions. Meant to add this to earlier reply.

I was stationed at St. Hubert in 1959 to 1960 as an Armament Systems Tech.

I was stationed at RCAF Stn St. Hubert from 1957 - 1962 with 401 Squadron - great squadron - great times. Wife, Isabel, worked at Air Defence Command HQ. Wonderful memories of the good ol' days. We lived in St. Bruno. Hope to get to the reunion next year.
