- Wing Notes: The first step towards trans-Atlantic ferry operations was taken in July 1940 when the British Ministry of Aircraft Production arranged with the Canadian Pacific Railway Company for the operation of a ferry service between Montreal and Prestwick. Aircraft were to be delivered by civilian pilots to Dorval from the plants of U.S. aircraft manufacturers in California. The first delivery, seven Lockheed Hudsons, took place on 11 November 1940. On 15 July 1941 the ferrying operation was taken over directly by the British Ministry of Aircraft Production itself through its ATFERO (Atlantic ferrying organization), and the Canadian Pacific Railway agreement was terminated.
