There is a small historical members might have available. Brian began his plaque at the back of the hangar. (More details presentation by tracing the First World War on Beamsville are available for anyone who demand for military aviation pilot training would like a copy of a story that I wrote while conducted by the Royal Flying Corps and its I was a reporter for the St. Catharines successor (from April 1, 1918 forward) the Standard. The story, headlined 'Flimsy Aircraft Royal Air Force. In the period from 1915 to 'Buzzed' Beamsville 50 years ago,' was 1918, the largest flight school was at Camp published Aug. 22, 1968).

Nine hangars or "flight sheds," were Brian noted that the St. Catharines Flying Club rapidly constructed on a 300-acre site.

The original administration building was Niagara-on-the-Lake, and that's where Niagara moved piece by piece to downtown St. District Airport stands today. The city of St. Catharines in the early fifties and is now the Catharines purchased the property and leased it current headquarters of 23 squadron of the back to the flying club for $1 a year. As the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. A major reunion of threat of war loomed, provisional flying training the personnel at No. 9 ETFS was held in resumed at flying clubs across Canada.

In Today, Niagara District Airport is a valuable December of 1939, the British Commonwealth general aviation facility in southern Ontario.

Thanks to Brian's efforts, a monument recognizes the role played by St. Catharines in the BCATP. It's located in front of the terminal building. Prior to 1987, there wasn't any recognition of this important chapter in aviation history. Brian, who was commanding officer of the 809 Niagara-on-the-Lake squadron of the air cadets, organized a campaign to raise $10,000 to erect the monument, featuring a bronze plaque mounted on a triangular base and depicting an aircraft tail. The monument is dedicated to all of those who worked with and for the BCATP between 1939 and 1944, and to Murton A. Seymour. It's also dedicated to P/O John Gillespie Magee, who penned the famous poem High Flight. Magee trained at St. Catharines in March of He was born of a British mother and an American father, who were missionaries in China. During the Boxer Rebellion, the family moved from China to England, where John G. Magee spent most of his formative years. When Britain entered the war, his parents and family moved to Washington, D.C. At the outset of the war, Magee felt such a strong affinity for Britain's cause that he enlisted in and was accepted for pilot training. He was inducted into the RCAF and after service flying training in Ottawa, he went to England for operational training on Spitfires. Tragically, Magee died in a mid-air collision in cloudy weather on Dec. 11, Brian noted that there has been some controversy around the airport, with some residents in the Niagara-on-the-Lake area lobbying to close down the facility on account of so-called noise. If there has been noise, a lot of it is coming from the people complaining. Brian recalled that at one town hall meeting in 1999, it was reported in the Standard that "100 protesters" were speaking out against the airport. "Yes, there were 100 people there, but 95 of them came from either the flying club or some part of the airport operation," Brian noted. He recalled a good story told by George Dunbar at the peak of the Tiger Moth flying. A dowager lady who lived on the escarpment called the airport one day to complain about the noise of "those damned aeroplanes." She claimed aircraft were nearly knocking the chimney down. "Listen, I'll hold the phone out," she said. "There's one flying over right now!" The man on the phone asked her to run outside and tell him whether the aircraft "were ours or theirs." She replied: "Well they're ours of course." He replied: "Thank goodness, madam! I thought it was something serious. Good night!" Brian said that others issues facing Niagara District Airport include cost-sharing for maintenance, airport improvements and most recently, a demand by Transport Canada to install a six-foot-high security fence around the airport. "Where the money is going to come from, I don't know," he said. "No one wants to pay for it, but it has to be done." Brian said that unfortunately, whether it is Toronto or St. Catharines, many people don't recognize the economic importance and value of airports that are in close proximity to urban centres. Brian closed his talk by reciting the words of John G. Magee's High Flight and answered Flypast V. 39 No. 7 4
