Second
Lieutenant William Weir ‘Mack’ McGill was a pharmacist by
profession. He came from the London, Ontario area. Mack
was taken on strength with the Royal Flying Corp’s Headquarters
Training Brigade in England (exact date unknown). On the 14th
of February, 1918., he was posted to No. 1 Fighting School at
Turnberry, Ayershire. This is where he would have flown
aircraft mentioned in the interview including the Sopwith Pup,
Sopwith Camel and SopwithDolphin. On the 28th of June, 1918 Mack was posted to the British Expeditionary Force in France. He is known to have been with No. 23 Squadron as of November, 1918. If he indeed did go directly to No. 23 Squadron upon arrival in France, he would have joined the squadron at Bertangles. The squadron equipped with the Sopwith Dolphin, was under the command of Major C. E. Bryant D.S.O. He would remain in command until December 1919 when he was replaced by a Canadian, Squadron Leader Raymond Collishaw D.S.O. O.B.E. D.S.C. D.F.C. Squadron movements from the end of June 1918 onwards were: Bertangles, France until the 13th of September 1918 Cappy, France until the 11th of October 1918 Hancourt, France until the 25th of October 1918 Bertry East, France until the 3rd of December 1918 Clermont, France until the 15th of March 1919 Waddington, Lincolnshire, England until disbandment on the 31st of December 1919 McGill was posted to No. 3 Training Depot Station at Lepcombe Corner, Wiltshire on the 2nd of April 1919.

Restored Halifax NA337 in Trenton |
by Chris Charland and Karl Kjarsgaard
Halifax LW170 Recovery Project - 2009There was once a time when you could fill the sky with Halifax aircraft but after World War II, only a few remained.Today there are only two in the entire world.This is story about dedication and never giving up. Our objective of recovering a Halifax aircraft from water was accomplished once before. In 1995, our organization, with Karl Kjarsgaard as Project Manager, was part of the recovery team known as the Halifax Aircraft Association. That team made up of Canadians, British, Welsh and Norwegians, located and raised Halifax NA337 from Lake Mjosa near Hamar, Norway. The aircraft known as Halifax NA337 was airlifted to Canada, thanks to the support of the Canadian Department of National Defense. In 2005, the aircraft was finally restored and put on display at the RCAF Memorial Museum in Trenton, Ontario, Canada. Today, it stands as a fine example and the true meaning of what valour and courage represents. Halifax NA337 - Norway Recovery Video Part 1 The recovery of Halifax NA337 from underwater did prove one thing, that it can be done. This 1995 world record recovery has lead to this new project and we have scheduled the raising of Halifax LW170 for the summer of 2009 as part of the 100th anniversary of manned flight in Canada.This video web site is our link to you and we need your help. To raise this aircraft, we need your support. We have brought together a number of components including video, interviews, aviation art, information, music, museums, aircraft historians, students, educators and above all, veterans to tell the story of Halifax LW170.Halifax 57 Rescue, is a registeredcharitable organization with an official contribution number and has raised nearly $50,000.00 in the last two years.As before, members of Halifax 57 Rescue Canada will recover LW170, and it will be restored and displayed at the aviation museum in Nanton, Alberta. It will be there for future generations to see and to understand its importance as a part of Canadian aviation history..We want you to enjoy this web site, but what’s most important, this recovery project needs your support.Become a member and be a part of the Recovery of Halifax LW170. It is essential that we protect history and this is what Halifax 57 Rescue does as an organization. It's for our history, our national heritage and it is for those young people of the future who will someday travel to Nanton, Alberta to see and be inspired by Halifax Aircraft LW 170. TheThe Story of Halifax LW170 continues...
