402 Squadron RCAF

Some may remember that one of the aircraft flown by Lloyd Chadburn during the war was AEA a Mark 5B Spitfire which is still flying in England. This aircraft which Chadburn flew on 22 different occasions during the war was an aircraft from 402 City of Winnipeg Squadron. This week we were pleased to add another name to our master email list. It was LCol Robert Patrick a former Commanding Officer of 402 Squadron who is now retired from the Royal Canadian Air Force and who lives in Winnipeg.
