Yes, and BE2 was only a small USAAF airfield operational 1942-47 – so it wasn’t used that much!

But, I’m researching the landing of a Barkley-Grow T8P-1 aircraft registered CF-BMV off the coast of Angmagssalik on her way to BE2 December 22, 1942 (it sank shortly after landing on thin sea ice, no one was hurt)

At this time BE2 had already a 4000ft gravel runway and it was used during the epic B-17 rescue mission.
