I have heard rumors circulating around facebook that Hanger 14 at Uplands is being brought back into the fold for military use. Any one hear any details?

Wasn’t it still being used by CFSU(O) MSE?

Couple different RCAF facebook groups, particularly Canadian military aircraft ,one was discussing Uplands and this was brought up. Not a reliable source, I know many more people on here are in the know, this I am checking on here.

We are opening a detachment in Ottawa this summer.  We have people there now and people moving from the US to Ottawa this summer with test pilots and flight test engineers moving from Cold Lake to Ottawa.  This will be in temporary installations for now.  Once Hangar 14 renovations are over, we will move our instrumentations folks and our laboratory to Ottawa. In any case, we are not bringing our Tutors and Hornets to Ottawa.  We have agreements with other organizations (Transport Canada and RCAF units) to conduct our Force Generation activities.
