Official History

427 (Lion) Squadron was formed on November 7, 1942, as the eighth of fifteen Royal Canadian

Air Force (RCAF) Bomber Squadrons formed overseas. The squadron flew Wellington aircraft

out of Croft, Yorkshire; and then Halifax and Lancaster bombers out of Leeming from May 3,

1943. Its first Commanding Officer was Group Captain Dudley Burnside, DSO, OBE, DFC &

Bar. Initially part of 4 Group, the Squadron was transferred to 6th Bomber (RCAF) Group where

it remained until the end of the war.

The Lion Squadron amassed an enormous amount of flying hours and won an impressive list of

Battle Honours and individual distinctions. In 3,200 sorties comprising 26,000 flying hours, they

dropped an incredible amount of high explosives on Fortress Europe and its ports. There were a

total of 557 427 Squadron aircrew shot down or interred in WW II from the Squadron's inception

to the end of the war. Of these 6 became internees in Ireland, 14 evaded capture and 118 were

POWs. However, 419 lost their lives. Indicative of the selfless bravery of the Lion crews were

four Distinguished Service Orders, two Conspicuous Gallantry Medals, 16 Distinguished Flying

Medals, and 147 Distinguished Flying Crosses.

On May 24, 1943, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer adopted the Squadron and allowed the names of such

stars as Lana Turner, Greer Garson, Joan Crawford, Heddy Lamarr, and others to be displayed

on the aircraft.

Another highlight was the adoption of one of Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s lion cubs,

named Mareth. In addition, MGM presented a bronze lion to the Squadron. This gift and the

affiliation with the MGM lion mascot strengthened the Squadron's nickname.

1952: Re-Activated as Fighter Squadron

On August 1, 1952, the Lions were reactivated as a Fighter Squadron flying F-86 Sabres at St-

Hubert, Quebec, before moving to Zweibrucken, Germany. The Squadron subsequently served in

France, Morocco and Sardinia, as ambassadors for Canada, before becoming the first Canadian

squadron to be equipped with the CF-104 Starfighter in 1962. The Squadron was again

disbanded on July 1, 1970.

1971: Re-Activated as Tactical Helicopter Squadron

The Lions returned on January 1st, 1971, as a Tactical Helicopter Squadron based at Petawawa,

Ontario, where they are to this day. Originally equipped with the L-19 Bird Dog, they received

soon after the CH-136 Kiowa light observation helicopter, as well as the CH-135 Twin Huey

utility helicopters. The Squadron has participated in numerous overseas operations such as

Norway, Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula (Operation CALUMET), as well as a United Nations

peacekeeping mission in Central America (Operation SULTAN). In 1992, 427 Squadron

switched to a uniform fleet of CH-135 Twin Hueys. Soon after, in March 1993, a flight of Lions

deployed to Somalia in support of Operation DELIVERANCE where they distinguished

themselves in day and night operations. Maintaining its versatility in deployed operations, 427

supported United Nations support missions in Haiti from 1995 to the present on Operations

PIVOT and STABLE.

427 Squadron retired the Twin Huey in July 1997, while receiving the last of the newly

purchased BELL CH-146 Griffon Fleet. The Lions have used the Griffon in a number of

operations to date, including Operation RECUPERATION (1998 Ice Storm), Operation

CENTRAL (Honduras 1998), Operation HURRICANE (Artic 1999), Operation.

PALLADIUM Roto 5 (1999-2000), Roto 7 in 2000-2001, and was the driving force behind Roto

11/12, Bosnia 2002-2003, Afghanistan from 2003 to 2012 and most recently in Iraq.

On February 1, 2006, the unit was renamed 427 Special Operations Aviation Squadron and

became a part of Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM). As part of

this newly formed command, 427 SOAS provides an aviation capability to the Canadian Special

Operations Regiment (CSOR), The Canadian Joint Incident Response Unit, Joint Task Force 2

and the Canadian Special Operations Training Centre.

427 Squadron Cenotaph Project

427 SOAS will celebrate its 75th

anniversary in the fall of 2017. A central feature will be the

unveiling of a cenotaph in the Memorial Park, Garrison Petawawa, Ontario. 427 Squadron does

not have a memorial in Canada honoring its fallen heroes.

The specifications include: a 20’ diameter black dyed concrete base; two crossed wall

approximately 7’ in height and 7’ wide, bearing the names of the fallen and a picture of all the

aircraft flown in the Squadron and the names of the fallen; on top of this will stand an 7’

diameter, 8” thick polished granite surface, crowned by a 7’ life sized bronze lion, which is the

427 Squadron Crest.
