I've heard stories about the dismantling of the DEW line where they'd put
50-60 390s and 390A's , and a few tons of other gear, on a frozen lake, and
bet on the date they'd be heavy enough to break through the ice...
390A's were used extensively in the Canadian Diplomatic Corps as well... I
have two of them , both '67 EAC's... neither has ever seen a depot...
I have seen 51-J's , SP-600s , 390/390As, Racals, etc all surplussed from CFB
stores..... 73 de Jordan...
