St. Anthony, NF

1997 - Additional Details - Ren L'Ecuyer


St. Anthony was part of the 64th Air Division within the Northeast Air Command. This station was USAF financed and manned. When the 64th Air Division took over the Northeast Air Command in 1960, they determined that there were some gaps in the warning system. Therefore a smaller AC&W site, known as a "Gap Filler" radar detachment was built as follows:

LaScie, Newfoundland Det #1 - 921 AC&W (SS)

This AC&W site was a Gap Filler AC&W Station and this site was closed in 1960.
