and now make up the small village of Vanastra, Ontario. Some of the original radar equipment has been relocated to the Secrets of Radar Museum in London, Ontario. The museum is located at this time at the 427 Wing, 2155B Crumlin Road North, London. The importance of the work done at RAF Clinton was that not only the radar was created and improved upon, but the common microwave stems directly from that research. Murder of Lynne Harper On June 9, 1959, 12-year-old Lynne Harper, who lived in the married quarters on the base disappeared after accepting a ride on the bicycle of 14-year-old classmate Steven Truscott. After a search which included hundreds of members of the RCAF from the station, her body was discovered a short distance from the station. Truscott was arrested, denied many of the civilized considerations not yet enshrined in law as 'rights' (such as full disclosure of the evidence against him) and convicted of Capital Murder. He was not convicted of rape yet this was always presented as a motive. His sentence was to be death by hanging but this was commuted to life in prison. This death sentence is often credited for bringing an end to the death penalty in Canada. In addition Truscott never exhibited any pathological behaviors that would be used by criminal profilers to include him in a pool of suspects. He was eventually exonerated when his conviction was overturned after 45 years. References Bruce Forsyth's Canadian Military History Page Maccaulay, Horace R. The Military Base at Clinton, Ontario.
