Quadra from the Aurora
This is not a particularly good picture but it is my picture. I took it from the right side of the cockpit of the Aurora.
It shows how relatively remote HMCS Quadra is. During WW2 there was no causeway, no link to shore . All material and personnel had to be ferried over. So secrecy could be relatively preserved for whatever training was being conducted here.
Directly West is Comox proper with Courtenay due South. North , across the Straight is Powell River but that's far.
How do we learn more ? I think the 1st SSF is involved in the answer.
Bruce , dare I say again that you were brilliant in finding that picture ( Chief of Naval Staff ) ? Brilliant.
