RCAF Station St John
Note: On this page and others on RCAF.info you will find that the spelling for “Saint John” is “St John” this has been pointed out as being incorrect. I am hesitant to implement this change in order to maintain consistency across the site. I have tried to maintain that in all locations Saint is abbreviated to “St”. Sorry for any confusion this may cause.
