I mailed all registered entrants a form to complete so we may finalize our planning for this major event in our Squadron's history on Saturday June 2, 2012
The mailing included the following Important Update:
We just found out last week about a large motorcycle ride, the Highway of Heroes Ride, which starts at 1100 at CFB Trenton and will follow the Highway of Heros route right by the Air Park to the 401 and on to Toronto.
We expect a fair amount of noise and some traffic congestion until the end of the motorcycle ride. A organizer of the ride suggests the motorcycle stream may last 2 hours..
The ride will be dispatched by the OPP, 25 riders every minute which should allow other traffic to use RCAF Road, but prudent guests and participants at the Museum will allow themselves extra time to arrive at the Museum. An early arrival will permit easier registration and a more leisurely visit to the museum displays before our event starts.
Our Registration table will be staffed from 10:30 to 12:30
Our Ceremony will commence at 13:00 hours
Our Reception and buffet at 413 Wing will commence at 14:00 hours
REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN so if you wish to register for this event, you may do so by clicking HERE. A confirmation mailing will be sent upon receipt of your registration.

New Sections Added to The History Hangar
Posted supplied by: Bill Bishop
New sections and/or sub-sections have been added to The History Hangar along with a new feature.
NEW FEATURE
Some of the new sections and sub-sections contain articles relating to what we are calling "Living History". These articles describe history in the making and will chronicle details as they happen, leading up to what will become a permanent part of our history. eg. The new sub-section in our History Section entitled 'Operation Russell' will detail in real time the efforts started by Carl Mills to recover the Vampire which crashed in Lake Ontario in 1953 killing F/O Russell (our last active duty death).
Living History pages will be denoted by this new, animated logo:
NEW SECTION
80th Anniversary : This new section will contain information on all planned activities under consideration for our 80th anniversary celebrations. This whole section and its sub-sections are designated a 'Living History' section. It follows items planned, actions taken, and final results. Once completed each of these activities will form part of our permanent history and the 'Living History' designation will be removed.
411 Section : John Tapper has been crowned 'The Grizzly Keeper' and has volunteered (been coerced) into working to get photos and articles for their (411 Squadron's) section of the History Hangar. John has supplied photos from their last Christmas dinner which have been made into a slide show and will be posted in their section either today or tomorrow.
You are encouraged to visit the History Hangar and let us know what you think of these changes. Click the link from the right side panel.

New Web Address in Effect
Post Supplied by: Bill Bishop
To help us to keep your Blog interesting, please rate your degree of interest in this article below.
On July 1, 2011 (Canada Day) we registered, our own domain name for our web site. Effective immediately you can access our New Web Site, 400 Squadron History Hangar, at this custom address: 400squadron.ca
Using the Contacts & Links page on the new site, you will be able to navigate to all our other presences on the web, this news blog, our photo albums, and others.
If you haven't already done so, we encourage you to take a peek preview at this site which is the permanent home for our History pages, Honour Roll, Articles, and much more. If you don't have the time to view it all at one session, we urge you to return and explore the many unique features we have included such as the complete original 'On Guard' series written by FreddyK, and the new Arts Centre highlighting music, artwork, original stories, and poems written by our Squadron members.
Some portions of the site are still being worked on. So, if some links are broken, or photos missing, bear with us for another week or so. We plan an official roll out later this month and all on our mailing list will be notified.
We also urge you to sign our log book at the new site so we can get a feel for the numbers who have visited.

Several Updates
Post Supplied by: Bill Bishop
All 10 articles in FreddyK's 'On Guard' series have been installed on our WebSite. All but the last two have had photos and other 'goodies' added to the originals. They may be viewed here. "On Guard" We are trying to encourage Fred to undertake a 'winter works project' and do one final article for the series .... more to come we hope.
The four-foot deep concrete base has been excavated and poured for our Squadron Monument being constructed at the RCAF Museum in Trenton. The final drawing for the front panel of our Squadron Standard has been received and this is what it will look like.
