401 RamPage - the unofficial home of 401 Squadron
401 squadron was one of our sister Air Reserve squadrons in Montreal. Like 411 squadron, it has been disbanded. However, these past members have put together a great site in tribute. They've compiled quite a list of past members, have great photos of the Otter era, and have some "dirty songs" that I never heard!

One of the two squadrons located at Toronto, 411 was disbanded a few years ago. This site honours the memory and has much info from the Squadron History Book. Also photos, member directory, links, etc.

The 5BX Plan for Physical Fitness
In 1958, the RCAF published its own booklet of exercises for physical fitness.
In the 70's the book was still available. Here is a web version. I recommend the plan.
It only takes 11 minutes a day & no equipment is needed.
