	Canada's Air Force, History, 400 Series Squadrons
		450 Squadron was created in 1968; although the Royal Australian Air Force already had a 450 Squadron (a tactical fighter squadron during the Second World War), the duplication of numbers was not realised until after the Canadian squadron was formed.
		Since the 400 series numbering was implemented when Canada's air force was known as the RCAF, we have chosen to display most of the badges in their original form, with either the King's or Queen's crown.
		Squadrons currently in operation are highlighted with a green background.

	Biography of Reg Miles, Chapter 4, Lympre, Kent / Flight Engineer, 432 - 420 Squadrons RCAF, 6 Group Bomber Command, ...
		The RCAF was called 6 Group part of Bomber Command, most airfields had two Squadrons based on it, each was controlled by it's own staff and did not always fly to the same targets nor even on the same days or nights as it was most times!!
		If we were one of the first in our squadron to take off we would gradually climb to the operation height and circle the 'drome until all our aircraft were present, not that we could see much on a dark night but we had a set time to "set course for the target".
		There was no chatter between crew members, and if someone left their mic on by mistake he was soon reminded of the fact, young as we all were I am reminded of how very professional we were, perhaps that is why we survived to tell our tales!
