Ground Observer Corps

11 GObC Squadron, Prince George, BC


The GObC Squadron at Prince George opened in late March or early April of 1956. I was posted to this unit in April 1956 and there was only a small number of personnel stationed there at that time. I remember the following:

F/L Brown – OC of the Squadron

F/O Meston

F/O Halladay

Unidentified Corporal

LAC Bill Wooton

Frank Hadlen, my room mate from Tofino in 1955-1956 was posted to the GObC Squadron in October 1956. Marv Graves, another ex Tofino airman was posted in some time later.

Bill, Frank and I all left the GObC squadron about the same time and I am not sure what may have happened after that. I seem to recall that the GObC squadron was closed in 1959 or 1960.
