caption_attribution_description: English: This drawing shows the building and services layout for the R1 Relief airfield at North Junction, Manitoba. The parent airfield is No. 10 Service Flying Training School at Dauphin, Manitoba.
context_page_description: The BCATP was a major program for training Allied air crews during World War II that was administered by the Government of Canada, and commanded by the Royal Canadian Air Force with the assistance of a board of representatives from the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
  Schools and facilities were set up at 231 locations across Canada.
  Many of these facilities were airfields. In December 1939 the Canadian government identified 24 existing airfields that could be used, leaving 80 new ones to be built. Classroom facilities with residences were commandeered from universities, colleges, and other provincial institutions. Basic training facilities were commandeered from private schools and municipal governments. These "borrowed" facilities were augmented with new construction as required.
context_section_description: Every principal airfield (e.g. EFTS or SFTS) had one or two relief airfields located within 10–15 km.   The No. 1 Relief Airfield is called "R1" in RCAF Station diaries.  Some of the relief fields were paved, some were just grass, and some had hangars, barracks, and maintenance facilities.   For example, trainees at No. 14 SFTS Aylmer moved to their R1 at Yarmouth Centre for the last four weeks of their course (radio, bombing, and gunnery).
