Frem memory (his logbooks) Banff (correct spelling?) was one of the bases. I can narrow it down later on... |

Cheers FlyJoe.
Jonesy, I have never heard of a base in Banff,although Banff does exist. It will be a good one to try and figure out.

Great pics, my Granddad was there, like 100's of others I guess. Wonder if my Nan still has his log books? Hmmmm.

Banff was and is a railway stop in the top of the Rocky Mountains. They would stop there for the train to refuel I believe. I don't believe there was ever an Air Force station there though.
Perhaps you're thinking of RAF Banff, a Coastal Command station in Scotland, Nelson?

I must look a bit closer at his logbook entry, didnt really specify UK/Canada, maybe if I backtrack his entries in a more logical fashion. |
