Hello Al, As you probably saw I was assinged to VW-13 from 1962-1963 about 18 months all total 6 of them TAD to Iceland. I enjoyed my time there and made a lot of good friends both on the base and off. Here a few place that may reconnect you to those times. www.argentia1.comwww.thecostafamily.net/charlie/argentia and if you are on Facebook there are two groups of interest Naval Facility Argentia Newfoundlad and Argentia Newfoundland. Enjoy Tom

Hi Tom, I was a radioman working air to ground with the P2V's and ships out to sea. I worked in a new radio shack, called receivers. As i said i was there in 1954/1956, we had opened the base for the cold war. Thanks for the info. al
I recall the P2Vs. They were popular back then as well as the C121 willie victors. After Argentia I went to VS 26 in Norfolk with the S2Fs. I was a ADR then converted to AZ Avaition Administration as I never wrenched and always worked in aircract maintenance control. Nice talking with you Tom
