INFORMATION

It has been decided to set up a number of radar units within the RCAF (Aux) replacing the present radar convoy elements of the RCAF (Aux) Squadrons. One or more of these units, which are essentially GCI units, will be located in Montreal. In Montreal, however, it is considered expedient to carry out radar and communications training considerably in excess of that which could normally be done by the GCI type unit.
