Bank of Montreal

Comments from David McNaught - I was the Manager of the Bank of Montreal between 1958 and 1962. The bank was located in the Wing Headquarters building (building #42 on your 1958-1959 diagram) in the section of the "H" furthest away from the airfield and directly opposite the laundry.
