Notes:
The first photo shows a mini reunion of the Alberta Research Council (ARC) radar research scientists (from circa 1970’s). It took place at the secretsofradarmuseum, a London ON Heritage Museum Open House event. All things radar from that era fell under the Official Secrets Act and were kept secret for 50 years. The Museum started about 10 years after the 50 year secret period and a component dedicated to the development of weather radar was added in September 2022. Some of the scientists at notes
