The Unit
On 21 September 1940, the pilots of No 1 Squadron RCAF participated in the first wing formation operation from RAF Northolt, including Nos 229 and 303 Squadrons RAF, although no enemy aircraft were encountered. Through a communications foul-up, the units took off simultaneously from different corners of the airfield, while all pilots headed toward the centre. By 27 September, the Canadians had destroyed 7 enemy bombers, but had only 6 Hurricane Mk I fighters remaining operational.

The Score
G/C Stanley F Vincent returned to RAF Northolt on 14 January 1940, as station commander. Aged 43 and a veteran of the RFC, he often accompanied his pilots on scrambles, claiming 2 Me 109 fighters on 30 September while on an operational sortie with No 229 Squadron RAF. The score made him one of the few airmen to have destroyed enemy aircraft in the air in both wars.
