This Supermarine Stranraer was stationed at RCAF Patricia Bay from August 1940 until December 1942. It was used as both an aircraft for aircrew training, and for coastal/submarine patrols. One Stranraer was dispatched along with 5 Royal Canadian Navy ships to search for the Japanese submarine I-26 after it shelled the Estevan Point Lighthouse on June 20, 1942.
