The early history leads us through the formation of 888 (Komox) Wing of the ''Royal Canadian Air Force Association'' and very accurately mentions the popular social events that took place during those years as well as leaving a living image in our minds of the hard work performed by volunteers in building our great facility up until our official opening in March 1992.
