12 WING COMMANDERS VISIT AEROSPACE Submitted By: Alex Fettes On November 25, the Commander of 12 Wing Shearwater, Colonel Ian Lightbody and the Commanding Officer of 12 AMS, Lieutenant Colonel Don Waldock, visited IMP Aerospace facilities at the Halifax Stanfield Airport. The Wing Commander and CO were briefed by IMP management on the status of IMP’s rotary wing and fixed wing programs, as well as the current Aerospace organization. The briefing was followed by a presentation to IMP Aerospace employees by Colonel Lightbody that highlighted the changing roles of the Sea King from the cold war era to present day. He noted that the Sea King has been deployed in support of humanitarian missions worldwide while still maintaining anti-submarine capabilities. Colonel Lightbody closed the presentation by thanking IMP for the efforts of its employees in providing DND with a serviceable and capable aircraft. He congratulated IMP employees on the fact that their efforts allowed the military operational staff to carry out the missions that the government required of them. He stressed that he viewed IMP as an integral part of the CH124 team. The presentation by 12 Wing was followed by a tour of #1 Hangar to see the activities on the Sea King and Cormorant. The group also toured #9 Hangar to see combined RTLIR, ASLEP and AIMP Block III program activities on the Aurora. The tour and briefings provided the 12 Wing senior staff with an understanding and appreciation of the activities carried out by IMP’s professional employees in supporting DND’s maintenance requirements. Col Lightbody giving his presentation IMP staff attending the presentation “ORIGINAL” IMP EMPLOYEE RETIRES Submitted By: W.C. Peter Seaward On Thursday, September 22, IMP Aerospace bid farewell to one the Company’s longest serving employees. With more than 41 years in Aerospace (1970-2011) and another four years with our predecessor, Fairey Aviation in Eastern Passage (1966-1970), Alex Munroe retired from IMP to spend some quality time with his wife Barb in and around their home in Scotch Village, Hants County. A maintenance mechanic by trade, Alex was best known and will forever be remembered as a pre-eminent mobile crane and aircraft tow tractor operator. His skill as an operator of cranes and tractors is legendary among Aerospace employees and DND/DOD customers alike. Over the past four decades he aptly demonstrated that no tow job or lifting operation was too difficult. He literally could place large aircraft into parking spots that would cause many of his peers and co-workers to laud his performance. The farewell turnout for Alex was nothing short of outstanding. After some uptempo bluegrass fiddle playing by Lukas Munroe to get the crowd warmed up and with his wife Barb by his side and some former IMP employees in attendance, Alex spoke to the gathering of friends and co-workers. He acknowledged and thanked all for their warm thoughts and parting gifts that included a scale model of the infamous and much loved “Grove Crane”. The President of IMP Aerospace, David Gossen, presented Alex with a newly minted large scale framed picture collage showing Alex out front with a CP140 Aurora as a backdrop. This was a special day for Aerospace and especially so for Alex and Barb. And although farewells are generally not a festive occasion, Alex made sure that his farewell would be remembered for many years to come.
