Read your article in the lastest edition of the Airfoce magazine re: RCAF Bands. I was in the Stn Clinton Band in 1954 and the band at Stn Whitehorse. I have a "posed" picture of both bands. The Clinton picture is not the best quality, 50 years old, while the Whitehorse band is quite good, about 48 years or so. I may have others, but it will take some time for me to get them together. I was a snare drummer with the band in 1954 when we went to the Waterloo Band Festival and won a gold medal in a Novice class, and played snare and French Horn with the Whitehorse band. I know this is an old site, but I thought you might still get the email from it. Looking forward to hearing from you. Bob Young (Sgt RCAF, Retired 1979)

I was in the Trumpet Band and Rube Band from 1964-69> My bandmasters were Bill Ratcliffe and Bill Marchant. I'll dig out photos and send them to you. Also caught your plug in Airforce Magazine Regards, Bob Shawcross (CWO Ret'd) Winnipeg.
