Correct Sabredog SiR.
High River Air Station, Alberta, 1920s. Elev 3390 ft. Probably DH-4s, with four ex-RFC Bessoneau hangars.
During WWII No 5 EFTS relocated from Lethbridge to High River (due to the frequent high winds at Lethbridge.) Three runways, two hangars and a major camp were built – with 106 Classes graduated for the BCATP, initially on Tiger Moths, then Cornells.
This tells the story

And now it's all gone apart from one hangar and the RCAF flag. You can just make out the runways in the 2002 GE overhead.
LFH
Sabredog has control.
