I WAS STATIOND THERE FOR 3 YEARS MANY FOND MEMORIES I WAS IN MSE HAVE LOST TRACK OF MENY OF THE PERSONNEL THERE AT THAT TIME
GATR 1981 to 1983 for me.
I was posted at CFS Yorkton from 1984 until station closing. I was a radar tech working in the ‘search’ tower with Sgt. ‘Stretch’ Hill, Mcpl Tom Hardy, Greg Catley and many others. I also was a volunteer firefighter working under fire chief PO (or P2?) Ennis.
Spent many times at the other ranks mess with MSE ops Norm Brown and Andy Deveau and most of the other ranks posted there.
