RE: Flight Lieutenant William Baggs Asked To Be Flagged.
The LSS -- Camp X was where the trained the spies in partnership with the UK. The land it sat on is literally beside the CAW HQ down there on Phillip Murray Ave as it turns into Boundary Rd.
You will always see Lynn-Phillip Hodgson's name come up with Camp X --- he is the world's foremost authority on it. He moved out of the area about 3 years ago to Burlington to be closer to his kids.
- he is not in the best shape anymore but he still does walking tours of the area once a year, for Doors Open Ontario week here --- September.
We have been friends for years. Because of that project.
Have you blogged about this Barry?
The story is fascinating and I'd love to learn more about the history and speculation behind the activities that were engaged in there.
Your posts and our chats today about it all, and last nite -- have me honestly thinking about it. I could easily do a year long series on this topic alone and never run out of things to say and have all the info and sources like you say. I have literally walked the lands many times and have pieces of the housing from the spy camp in my house.
Most people do not know that the James Bond 007 character was 100% based on the Intrepid spy and series of the same name connected to Camp X here, and there is an Intrepid street and park here related.
Camp 30 in Bowmanville is related too --- it was the POW camp and is largely regarded as the Palm Springs of POW camps, LOL. (not really kidding though) and I have worked on that, and walked those lands and buildings too, before we lost that fight and the site destroyed not long ago.
I strongly encourage you to GET TYPING @barrydutton!
That's a strong series of valuable stories.
At the very least, save the history of the blockchain forever.
