Moody, during handing-over ceremonies on Friday. The popular former stationhead left for a new post at Maritime Air Command Headquarters, Halifax, today. Sqn. Ldr.

Moody, officer commanding the station for the past nearly six years, conducted an inspection of station personnel as one of his last official duties. Here he passes down the ranks of a flight of airwomen accompanied by parade commander, Sqn. Ldr. John Brown, right, and members of the inspecting party." (7c)
