Notes:

There has been quite a bit of discussion about this aerodrome but I am having a hard time find it right now. Looking at the drawings and maps it appears it was just north of the highway running along Lake Ontario and the site appears to now be occupied by the Lennox Generating Station. A comparison with the township maps for the region would likely result in an exact location as the facility appears to have taken up all of lot 16, 17 and half of lot 18.
