We received the following request from Ross Lunan - Wonder if there is any way to search the content all the newsletters for any references to my father, who served in TCA/AC from August 1938 to February 1974? His full name is William Alan Lunan , goes by Alan Lunan, and has younger brother Malcolm Lunan, who also worked at the base. Are you aware of any information about the company in its early days 1938-41 in Winnipeg, when my father worked there, one of the original 1500 first employees, as a Radio Technician. As I discovered he was involved in checking out the onboard radio and navigation instruments during the development of the original L10a service from Montreal - Vancouver. He transferred to St. Hubert, Quebec to work in the TCA Ferry Command Contract, then to Dorval during the war/post war era, then to the new Dorval Maintenance Base through to his retirement. |

Terry Baker searched through our library of 'Between Ourselves' and 'Horizons' magazines and provided the following response - I checked the earliest issues of magazines (1941 - 1943) but no reference to your father. During the war years, there was very little information in the magazines about the staff transfers to St. Hubert. However in Horizons magazine issued February 1974 is this entry under 'Retirements'. Quote - "W. A. Lunan, Technician, Dorval, joined the company on August 23, 1938" - Unquote Regards, Terry Editors' Note: Do we have any readers who may have been colleagues of either Alan or Malcolm Lunan? |
