Camp Borden - Canadian Forces Base Borden (also CFB Borden, French: Base
des Forces canadiennes Borden or BFC Borden), formerly RCAF Station Borden,
is a large Canadian Forces base located in Ontario.
The historic birthplace of the Royal Canadian Air Force

At the height of the First World War, the Borden Military Camp opened at a location
on a glacial moraine west of Barrie in 1916 to train units for the Canadian
Expeditionary Force.

In a 1990s reorganization of the Canadian Forces following the end of the Cold War,
CFB Borden's air force training facilities were grouped under the name 16 Wing
Borden.
The eight surviving Royal Flying Corps hangars at the base have been designated
a National Historic Site of Canada.

PLUS a weighted 50 Cal Brass Casing - this vintage WW2 1942 casing has been filled
with lead - Makes a great Paperweight..
