Steph---The base was Goose Bay Labrador.I don't even know if they still have a base there.We would keep the engines(of the
planes)preheated.It was so cold on the flightline,that we used to
use hydraulic oil ,in the preheat engines to get them to turn over.
If we went out to fuel the preheat engines,it snowed so heavily,
that we had to tie a 30' rope from the plane door to our waist!
I would start the APU(auxiliarly power unit)on the plane& keep
rotating in its exhaust so I wouldn't freeze.Unairmanlike,but it kept me alive! Irish
