Goose Bay - Cold Weather SOPs 1960-70s

Can anyone recall the trigger Chill Temperatures used at Goose during the 60s-70s?

As I recall they were roughly as follows:

Temp> -15F Normal operations
Temp< -15F 2 man ops outdoors (buddy\buddy)
Temp< -20F Hangar Starts only
Temp< -35F Training sorties cancelled, transit and recovery flights only.
Temp< -45F Operational necessity only, e.g. non-exercise White Cliffs

Thanks,
YS

YS,
I have vague recollections of the numbers, I will go back to my "bits & pieces" folder and see if there is anything there! The numbers appear vaguely familiar but not quite!

Regards,
Bill
