St. John's, NF
Photographs

These pictures were originally taken on 8mm film and are of very poor quality - considering the age of the film, and the fact that images had to be captured from 8mm film and saved in JPG image format for the web site. The majority of these photos were made at Fort Pepperrell on the day that the complex was officially handed back to Canada. All of the airmen are from the 642nd AC&W Squadron. Unfortunately, most of the photos are too out of focus and faded to recognize all of the individuals.
