Grant. I was wondering where the heck that code ended up.
Turns out 'VC' and 'YVC' were originally assigned to RCAF Station Jericho Beach sometime in the 1920's, which was in the Vancouver area. Not sure when that Station ceased operations (I think it was a seaplane base for the most part), but when Vancouver Airport in Richmond opened, it was assigned 'YVR' and the old Jericho Beach code was dropped for Vancouver and I guess ultimately reassigned.
