USED TO DIRECT AIR TRAFFIC AT THE ROYAL

AND RE-LOCATED HERE IN 1983 BY BRANCH

BY KIND PERMISSION OF THE
ONTARIO POLICE COMMISSION

RCAF STATION AYLMER

THE ONTARIO POLICE COLLEGE NOW OCCUPIES THE
SITE THAT WAS FORMERLY THE LOCATION OF THE
ROYAL CANADIAN AIR FORCE STATION AYLMER

BETWEEN 1941 AND 1961 THOUSANDS OF AIRCREW
AND GROUND SUPPORT PERSONNEL RECEIVED THEIR
TRAINING HERE. MANY OF THESE GRADUATES WENT
ON TO GIVE THEIR LIVES IN SUPREME SACRIFICE
FOR DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM DURING THE SECOND
WORLD WAR AND THE KOREAN WAR.

IT IS TO THESE COURAGEOUS SPIRITS WHO
HAILED FROM CANADA, THE UNITED STATES
AND ALL PARTS OF THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH
THAT THIS RESTORED AND RELOCATED WIND TEE
IS DEDICATED.

LEST WE FORGET
