A number of my compadres at the Air Reserve in Downsview thirty years ago went on to careers at DeHavilland Aircraft, at the hangars next door. Here's an article from the old RCAF magazine, The Roundel, on one of the companies that made our aircraft.
From the December 1959 edition of the defunct RCAF magazine "Roundel" - an article on The Golden Hawks. Before there was the Snowbirds, there was the Hawks in their Sabres.
A feature article on the Air Reserve, part of the 40th anniversary celebration from the April 1964 edition of The Roundel - the defunct RCAF magazine. I recall a photocopy of this article was given to me as part of GMT back in 1978.
