Thoroughly enjoyed this presentation from my listening post near Masset, BC. For a Canadian perspective, up to the present time of the military Masset listening site, here’s an excellent site:

Great video with plenty of neat historical bits. The vintage film was a bit “over the top,” but not uncommon for that era and still plenty interesting to watch.
