A
little history: 423 AW(F) Sqn, co-stationed with 425 AW(F) Sqn at RCAF Stn St Hubert during the 1950's, was selected
to replace 416(F) Sqn (F-86s) in 2 Ftr Wing,
Gros Tenquin, France. 416 Sqn was to be re-instated as a CF-100 sqn at St Hubert.
The genesis of 416 AW(F) Sqn came from 425 AW(F) Sqn. Some of the aircrew transferred
over are seen in the following photo of 425 Sqn members attending a WPU course at RCAF Stn Cold Lake in Sep '56, namely Claude
Montour and his nav Ross "Rosie" Drinkle (last crew on the right), Joe Gulyes and his nav Bert Legg (5th crew from the left)
and Willie Milne and his nav Art Stuck (3rd crew from the right). They were the only three crews from that course
to become members of 416 Squadron on its formation 1 Feb. 57.
