A visit to RCAF Dunnville from the Brampton Flying Club
Dunnville is now the home to the Harvard and the Yale. As well, they have a small but well equipped museum. We visited there on 3 July 2010 during an open house. The flight was in my Grumman Tiger from Brampton.
Abandoned WWII RCAF Training Base
RCAF Station Vulcan, also referred to as RCAF Aerodrome Vulcan, was a Second World War flying training station located southwest of the town of Vulcan, Alberta, Canada. It was one station of many that were established in Canada under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan.
The Vulcan aerodrome was officially opened on October 30, 1942 and hosted No. 2 Flying Instructor School (FIS), which had moved to Vulcan from Claresholm. The aircraft used were Cornells, Cranes, Fawns, Finches, Harvards, Oxfords, Tiger Moths and Ansons. In April 1943, No. 2 FIS moved to the Pearce aerodrome near Fort Macleod and No. 19 Service Flying Training School (SFTS) took over the facilities, training future bomber pilots using the Anson. No. 19 SFTS ceased operation on April 14, 1945. Relief or auxiliary landing fields were located at Ensign and Champion.
For a period of time the old station operated as the Vulcan Industrial Airport. Although the runways still exist, the aerodrome has seen many aircraft since the war. Six of the original seven hangars remain standing. The remaining hangars are used for storage and for private industrial purposes.Three of the building owners are working to restore their hangars.

Veterans called to sign a patch of history
The British Commonwealth Air Training Plan is a Canadian achievement at which Tom Hinderks still marvels.
When the Second World War began, Canada had five air bases. By the end of the war less than six years later, 231 training bases existed where 130,000 air crew from 15 countries had been trained, said Hinderks, executive director of the Alberta Aviation Museum in Edmonton.
