Minister MacKay Spends The Holidays In Kandahar
NR - 10.154 - (Update / Mis à jour)

KANDAHAR AIR FIELD, Afghanistan - The Honourable
Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence, accompanied
by the Honourable Bev Oda, Minister of International
Cooperation, the Honourable Laurie Hawn, Parliamentary
Secretary to the Minister of National Defence, and General
Walt Natynczyk, Chief of the Defence Staff, has concluded
a two-day visit to Afghanistan, where he spent the holiday
season with Canadian Forces members and diplomatic and
development officials in Kandahar.
While in theatre, Minister MacKay spoke with the
Commander of Regional Command (South), US MajorGeneral James L. Terry, and Task Force Kandahar Commander,
Canadian Brigadier-General Dean Milner.
Canada is ending its UN-mandated, NATO-led combat
mission to Kandahar province in July 2011 and beginning a noncombat, Kabul-centred training role that will continue until 2014.
“The Canadian Forces serve and sacrifice to defend our
country and assist the people of Afghanistan rebuild their
country,” said Minister MacKay. “Together with their partners
from other government departments, as well as our allies,
they are making tangible progress in a very challenging
environment. It was an honour for me to spend this special
time of year in Afghanistan with the men and women who
represent our great country with such eminence.”
Minister Oda met with the Representative of Canada in
Kandahar, Tim Martin, and representatives from whole-ofgovernment partners in the Afghan mission.
“The future of Afghanistan depends on the institutions
and infrastructure that Canada is helping to create,” added
MacKay. “I continue to see improvement every time I come
to Afghanistan, and am hopeful for the future.”

Killed by Improvised
Explosive Device
CEFCOM NR – 10.020 - December 19, 2010
OTTAWA – One Canadian Forces member was killed
yesterday, December 18th, 2010, after an improvised explosive
device detonated while on operations in the Panjwa’i district
of Kandahar Province, at approximately 12:30 p.m. local time.
Killed in action was Corporal Steve Martin, from 3rd
Battalion, Royal 22e Régiment, serving with 1st Battalion,
Royal 22e Régiment Battle Group, based at CFB Valcartier,

Our thoughts are with the families and friends of our fallen

of this soldier as we continue to bring security and hope to the
people of Kandahar Province.

the Afghan authorities and ISAF partners remain committed
to providing Afghans the necessary support to build a selfsustained society improving the security situation in order
to set confidence-building conditions for reconstruction and
development in the region.

404 Squadron – Glimpses into the Past
By: Major Chris Larsen
One of the greatest
rewards of working on
historical research is filling
in the gaps in stories that
occurred so long ago. Even
though it has been 70 years
since the Buffalo Squadron’s
wartime exploits, we are
still learning about the brave
aviators and ground crew
who sacrificed so much
during a War that seems
so foreign to our modern
sensibilities. One has to ask
why would so many young
people have volunteered
to serve, so far away from
family and the comforts of
home? Many books have

been written about this and
we can only be thankful
today that they did.
404 Squadron started a
project two years ago to
create a website that would
take the Buffalo story to a
wider audience, for general
release, with no expectation
of profit. This information
has been released for
all to share, because it
is imperative that while
veterans survive, their story
should be made public.
The creation of
404squadron.com was made
possible through the hard
work of Master Corporal
Steve Mayo, who continues
to be the webmaster. The
site has received several
thousand unique hits, and
is a portal for families to
discuss the wartime exploits
of their loved ones. Through
the website, families are able
to contact the unit to share
their stories and offer scans
of personal photos. Recently,
images of Sergeant Garfield
Mackay were posted to the
404 Squadron historian by
his family.

of the original members of

404 (Buffalo) Squadron’s Unsung Heroes
Blenheim Silhouette: technician working on a
Bristol Blenheim.
(Images submitted)
From the north and western Ontario come these three members of the ground
crew of the crack RCAF Buffalo Squadron of Coastal Command. (L to R) LAC
M Cano, airframe mechanic from Fort William, LAC Carl Dubinsky, airframe

By: Maj Chris Larsen
To Canadian and British
aircrew they were “Erks”,
to the Aussies they were
“Wallahs” and to others
they were “Penguins” (i.e.
flightless birds), but to all these were the unsung heroes
of the air force; the ground
crew technicians.
404 Squadron was blessed
to have one technician
named Corporal WL Gowler,
a gentleman who took the
time to write in depth diary
entries about his time with
the Buffalo ground crew.
There is no known picture
of this diarist, but the picture
he leaves for us of life on the
Squadron is priceless. His
reminiscences start in October
1941, the early days of the
unit - about the time that the
Buffalos were making their
first operational missions
in the Bristol Blenheim.
Gowler’s writings speak of
boredom, fear, incredible
fatigue, pride and sorrow. He
speaks of his friends, such as
pilot Squadron Leader PH
Foster lost on operations in
May 1942, as well as AC1 DM
Clark and AC2 N Leitch who
were killed by a marauding
German Ju88 that strafed their
barracks in February 1942.
He wrote faithfully about ‘his
pilots’ and ‘his aircraft’.
Sadly, the massive majority
of what is written about the
RCAF and squadron life
focuses on the aircrew, but to
a man, these aircrew faithfully
heaped blessings upon their
technicians. This is still
true today in that aircrew
are acutely aware that their
missions could not take place
without the dedicated efforts
of the technicians in whom
they put their trust and thanks.
There were dangers aplenty
for the Erks. For example,
the following comes from
the Squadron history, “A
serious accident was narrowly
avoided on 15 March: ‘Had
a very close call today as the
boys had two cannons lying
out in front of ‘N’ (144) on
a couple of boxes and one

Pretty hard on the ears and
also could have had both
legs blown off just above the
ankles. ”
Several maintainers lost
their lives walking into
“airscrews” (propellers) due
to inattention, fatigue, or
losing focus while the aircraft
taxied at night around the
crowded airfields.
The following are ground
crew members killed with 404
Squadron:
On 2 September 1941, the
unit had its first fatal accident
when Blenheim L9394 piloted
by Sergeant WE Dale crashed
in a field about two miles
from Castletown. “Went out
of control and spun into the
ground”. Along with the pilot,
the gunner, Sgt EG Allen
and technician, Corporal LW
McKinlay, was killed.
8 January 1942, AC2
Stanley Leslie Gregory was
killed when he walked into
an airscrew; the accident
was deemed to be the result
of an error in judgment. A
moment’s inattention had cost
a squadron member his life.
1 February 1942, AC1 DM
Clark and AC2 N Leitch were
killed by a Ju88 that strafed
their barracks.
16 June 1942, AC1 “Billy”
Dunbar was a passenger in a
Bristol Blenheim; the pilot,
and gunner were also killed
in a dive during air to ground
firing. The pilot could not pull
out in time and crashed, finally
landing about 50’ out from
shore in about 8’ of water.
On 3 September 1943,
“Very bad happening today
again as Frank Woolhouse
was going on leave and caught
a ride down to Leuchars in
one of our new ‘Beaus.’ The
Beaufighter TFX had no
sooner left the drome than
the pilot started to do some
low flying and struck the top
of a house knocking off the
chimneys which broke the tail
off the plane which crashed
killing all three in the plane.”
On 7 September 1943, Cpl
Eddie J Ferrier was killed
when a propeller struck him.
The accident occurred on the
perimeter of the aerodrome
when an aircraft turned to taxi
to the dispersal area.
On 7 July 1944, Cpl RE
Colwell was flying during
a test flight in a Beaufighter
when the aircraft lost speed
over the airfield, rolled over
on its back and crashed to
earth, killing him and his
pilot.
In June 2011, 404 Squadron
will be celebrating its 70th
birthday, along with 405,
413 and 415 Squadrons. VPI
will also be celebrating its
45th anniversary. If you are
a veteran of these units and
would like to participate,

Volunteering at the GMFRC W.I.I.F.M (what’s in it for me)?
Submitted by: Leona
Conrick, GMFRC
Volunteer Services
Manager, 765-1494

In today’s busy world we
often find ourselves torn in
many directions. Between
work, children, parents,
spouses, pets, friends,
classes, housework, and so
much more, we often hear
the expression “I wish there
were more hours in the day”
or “I’m just so busy”. With
so many competing interests
vying for your time, you may
be wondering how you could
possibly fit volunteering into
your life.
One big deterrent for many
people is worrying about a
minimum time commitment.
At the Greenwood Military
Just Fill in The Blanks. Three Easy Ways to Enter.
1. Through our website: www.auroranewspaper.com
2. Fax: 765-1717 3. Drop into our office located
on 83A School Road (Morfee Annex)
Family Resource Centre there
is no minimum commitment.
We have some ongoing
opportunities, some oncea-year opportunities, and
anything in between. We
send out our opportunities
via email and those who are
interested in that task write
back to volunteer for that
particular event or activity.
“OK, so I have time, but
why would I want to?”

Volunteering can be a very
personally rewarding activity.
Not only do you get the
satisfaction of helping others,
but there are many benefits to
you as well. By volunteering
at the MFRC you will have
the opportunity to build your
skills and experience for your
resume, meet new people,
and learn new things. In
addition, our volunteers are
invited (free of charge or at a
reduced rate) to participate in
workshops held at the MFRC.
These workshops include
Defensive Driving, Food
Handling, Flower Arranging,
First Aid, and many more.
Simply watch the Aurora or
our Quarterly Newsletter for
information on upcoming
workshops and call our front
desk to register.
“I want to volunteer, but
I don’t have anyone to look
after my children.”
As a special thank you, and
in recognition of the unique
needs of our community,
children of volunteers may
attend our licensed childcare
centre (during its operating
hours) at no cost to the
volunteer, while they are
volunteering.
Do you still have concerns or
questions about volunteering
or how it can be beneficial
to you? If so, please call
Leona Conrick, our Volunteer
Services Manager at 7651494 local 5938. If you’re
ready to become a volunteer
call or drop in to learn more.

Fun By The Numbers
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as
a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve
a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row,
column and box. Each number can appear only once in
each row, column and box. You can figure out the order
in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric
clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers
you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
