Location – Google Map
This location was determined from a redit post post by MatanteAchalante in response to this thread.
Their response was as follows “It was roughly between Sherbrooke street, Provost avenue, 25th and 32nd avenues.
The area has been totally obliterated by construction in the 1960’s”
They also included a photo of the base from the Montreal Archives that I will add at the top of the page.
