Vintage Royal Canadian Air Force Bagotville Insignia

(992HWS-RCBI)(UPS)(900BIN)

LIMITED ITEM. SURPLUS - PREVIOUSLY OWNED. Once they are gone, we may not get any more. Sold As Is - NON-REFUNDABLE.

This insignia was part of items sold to us from Sergeant SAUVE, Course 168 "B" estate items from the WWI period through to 1959.  Not sure the date of this pin - can't find anything quite like it in the internet but did find information on Bagotville:

The Bagotville Station was built in July 1942 to provide a training base for pilots and protect the Alcan and hydro-electric facilities in the area during World War II, hence its motto "Defend the Saguenay".

Closed at the end of the war, the station was re-opened in 1951 as a training base for the squadrons serving with the Canadian Division in Europe and to support the air defence operations of the newly formed Canadian and American forces that would become NORAD in 1958.

Following implementation of the Wing concept in the Air Force, 3 Wing, which in succession served Canada at Zweibrücken from 1952 to 1968 and at Lahr from 1988 to 1992, was reconstituted at Bagotville on 1 April 1993.

1942: The first operational training Unit, initially named Bagotville Station, was built in 1942 in order to provide a training base for pilots of the RCAF during World War II. On top of pilot training, Bagotville Station had the mission to protect the Alcan and hydroelectric facilities in the area, hence its motto "Defend the Saguenay". When the war ended, Bagotville Station was officially closed and reopened on 1 July 1951 for the squadrons serving with the Canadian Division in Europe. Then, 413 and 414 Squadron were deployed in Europe on 7 March 1953. Subsequently, Bagotville was quiet up to 1954, to then became a permanent base for the CF-100 Canuck "all-weather" fighter of 432 and 440 Squadrons.

1957: At that time, Bagotville was already an important link in the chain for the North American Air Defence, named NORAD in 1958. In 1957, 440 Squadron was posted to Grostenquin in France and replaced by 413 Squadron, which had been repatriated to Canada with its CF-100s. In 1961, both squadrons assigned to Bagotville were disbanded and the base was reassigned to its first primary mission, which was operational training, in addition to playing an air defence role with the creation of No.3 All-Weather Fighter Operational Training Unit.

    💜
    my 6’4” husband wore this to our wedding. it looked amazing on him 💜 everything fit pretty good except for the jacket part; that was a little big. it may fit someone who weighs a little more but my husband weighs about 165lbs. we had to tailor it a little bit. other than that, very beautiful suit.

    Impressive Quality and Style – A Perfect Prom Look!
    Size: Small, Color: Maroon Collar Black
    I purchased the YND Men's 3-Piece Slim Fit Tuxedo Suit Set for my son's prom, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. From the moment he put it on, it was clear this suit was something special. The fit was absolutely sharp and flattering, perfectly hugging the frame without being too tight — just the right balance of tailored and comfortable. The material feels high-quality and looks even better in person — smooth, sleek, and polished. It held its shape beautifully throughout the night and gave my son a sophisticated, modern look that turned heads and earned him plenty of compliments. You can tell this suit is well-made with great attention to detail, from the stitching to the lining. It easily rivals much more expensive brands. I’m so impressed with the value and style that I’ll definitely be purchasing from this company again. If you're looking for a tuxedo that delivers elegance, confidence, and exceptional quality without breaking the bank — this is the one!

    A Good Value
    Size: Small, Color: Black, Size: Small, Color: Black
    The suit is a good value. Ordered for senior prom for my son. He is 5’10 athletic build and between 165-170 lbs so we ordered the small since he wanted a slim fit and nothing that would be very loose. The suit fit him great, not too snug , the jacket has a satin finish on the lapel and edge of pockets which gives it an elevated elegant look. The jacket has an interior pocket but the rest are just for aesthetic as they do not open. I did have to cut a small slit in order to use the pocket square. The pants fit like a glove but you may want to size up if you are very muscular. The material is light weight which is perfect for prom season or warmer weather. The vest was oversized but we were not planning to use the vest anyway. Quality: several hanging threads that needed to be snipped but no big deal, the stitching was even and straight and the interior had piping of a complimentary fabric. After a full night of dancing and activities he did not have any issues with stitching breaking or splitting of seams. The buttons are black with a silver edge which give the suit some sophisticated flair but keep this in mind if you plan to style with gold. Overall, I am very pleased with this suit considering it’s price point. It’s perfect for a teen that will attend various senior events. Shipping took 2 weeks so plan accordingly and pay attention to the expected delivery date.

    Decent Tux but no customer service
    Size: XX-Large, Color: Deep Grey
    Decent tux for the money. Wish that we could have ordered different sizes for the jacket and the pants. The vest/jacket fits great but the pants were too big. Ended up having to buy separate pants. The add says that if you email them for a different size, they will help you out, but we never heard anything back from our email.
