When the British Royal Air Force relinquished control of RAF Clinton to the Royal Canadian Air Force, the man put in charge was Kenneth Roland Patrick.  Better known by his initials “K.R.”, Patrick was the Commanding Officer at RCAF Clinton from 1943-1945.

After the war, he went on to found Canadian Aviation Electronics (or CAE). The company started out making radar equipment for the Canadian military.
