Silver Star streams a Radop towed target over the R.C.A.F.'s air-to-air firing range near Cold Lake, Alberta. This is used for practice on long-range inter- ceptions by Avro CF-100 squadrons. (Right) A P2V-7 Neptune of the R.C.A.F. patrols above an R.C.N. sub- marine off Canada's east coast during a maritime exercise. These Neptunes—latest type of aircraft to go into R.C.A.F. squadron service— carry a ton and a half of electronic detecting equipment for use in their anti-submarine role. (Below, left) A Piasecki H-21A of the R.C.A.F., used chiefly for search and rescue duties and on the Mid-Canada Line. (Below, right) Ever-faithful ser- vant, the Dakota is employed by the R.C.A.F. for transport duties or the training of navigators or wireless operators.
