A message from Lieutenant-Colonel John Turner Commanding Officer of 434 Squadron (the Bluenose Squadron and the "City of Halifax" Squadron)

Unfortunately, 434 Sqn is in the process of standing down for the fourth time in its 59 year history. We had a close-out celebration and reunion on 22-24 Mar 02 (about 350 former and current Sqn members attended) and deposited the Sqn Colours in Halifax's Cathedral Church of All Saints on 28 Apr 02, where they will be displayed until a future generation stands up the Sqn once again. We are currently posting all Sqn members to various locations throughout Canada and will close our doors on 15 Jul 02. I will forward your web address to as many past and present Sqn members as I can. I know they will be as moved and impressed as I was on viewing the site. I also would like your permission to include a link to your site on the 434 Sqn website which is currently being updated to include displays from the recent close-out events

Thank you and congratulations on a tremendous tribute to one of our former heroes.
