The Wing 424 T33 aircraft was moved from CFB Mountain View to Cornwall in 1974. The pylon, made of solid reinforced concrete with a large footing, was constructed on site by a local contractor. An active member of the 424 Wing, Frank (Doc) Roberts, a former RCAF rigger, volunteered to design and fit the cradle on top of the pylon and supervised the actual mounting of the air craft.
The T33 was erected on September 27, 1974 and the brass memorial plaque was donated by John Leroux, an associate member at the time.
In 2000, the BCATP Memorial was dedicated during the Battle of Britain Ceremony at 424 Wing. An identical plaque was presented to the village of St. Eustache where there was a training location during the 1940s.
