Default C-124 Globemaster

Well boys my turn: Back in 56 & 57 I was in Thule , Greenland and we had a squadron of Canadian Lancasters on the ramp next to our F-89`s. Sure was pleasing to hear their run ups. They only had a few officers, most of the pilots were Sgts. We were all-weather interceptors,but we were grounded by weather, they would fly to Canada ( I think they called it Thor Bay?) for their weekly whiskey run ! When in Athens, Greece,there used to be Canadian plane ,that looked like a C-54, but It had Merlins on it.It was flying for U.N. Maybe a Canuck can verify ? Northstar ? Max
