The four were formed as part of Canada&#8217;s air defense commitment to NATO &#8212; though their existence was rather short lived. Grostenquin itself opened in 1952 and closed twelve years later after a dispute with France over nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p>My mom (who lived in Grostenquin) will enjoy this website [link no longer available] (one of the many school photos may contain her smiling face). As well, she&#8217;ll be interested to know that this summer in Cornwallis, NS there is a 2(F) Wing RCAF Grostenquin Family Reunion (August 28 &#8211; 30, 2009).<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1'
