Footnote: RCAF Station Alliford Bay, located on Queen Charlotte Island off the coast of British Columbia, was originally built as a Royal Canadian Air Force seaplane base and operated during the Second World War, flying PBY-5 Catalinas. From 1941 to 1943, the RCAF placed its High Frequency Directing capabilities at the disposal of the Royal Canadian Navy. The RCN complement was approximately four to six operators, with the station playing an important role in the RCN's radio intelligence operations against the Japanese. It base was shut down in 1945, with the community of Alliford Bay gradually transitioning into a logging centre.
