Vets’ war memorabilia Reservations 685-8485 : RESTAURANT on display JOHN CAINE has stared into the eye of death three times. And each time it has been death who blink- ed. By EVELYN JACOB News Reporter Five years ago the 69-year-old West Vancouver resident nearly lost his life in an automobile acci- dent. He wound up with 110 stit- ches, which stretch from the mid- dle of his forehead down his nose to-his chin, and up and around his cheek. He’s suffered two heart at- tacks, and a stroke has forced him to walk with the aid of a cane. But after being stationed on the south coast of England as a pilot officer and squadron leader for the Royal Canadian Air Force for four years during the Second World War, Caine, whose name is re- corded in the Guinness Book of World Records for winning the Distinguished Flying Cross three times, returned to his native Alber- ta without a single scratch. “I always used to say, during the war, that there was never a German alive who was going to shoot me down,” says Caine, who destroyed 23 enemy aircraft in his Mosquito FB6. ‘Four times I came back on on- ly one motor, and one time | was nearly 609 miles away from home, on the other side of Berlin.” Caine’s spoils of war and other RCAF and RAF memorabilia are currently on display at a heritage exhibit at West Vancouver’s Ferry Building. West Van WEST Vancouver’s annual com- munity day will be held Saturday, Sune 2. And the theme of this year’s celebrations is ‘‘Play it Natural,’’ a tribute to the municipality’s “playground qualities’’ as a com- munity nestled between the moun- tains and the sea. The theme also ties into West Vancouver’s growing environmen- tal awareness. Community day’s main focus is fun for both residents and visitors. A parade begins the day at 10:45 a.m. starting at Ambleside Park and travelling west along Marine in W. Van Yellowing newspaper clippings dating from the First World War, charts of bombing raids and old RCAF uniforms make up the show, which has been organized by the West Vancouver Legion. Caine and ex-First World War pilot Earl Wintemute opened the exhibit on Tuesday night. It ends Sunday. Wintemute was born in Nanaimo in 1899. He was a mere 17% years old when he joined the Royal Flying Corp. He was posted to the Bristol! Fighter Squadron in England, but never made it to France. “The war ended before I got to France,’’ says a spry Wintemute, sporting a navy blazer bearing the legion crest and a First World War Fiying Corp tie. Flipping opea his wallet, he carefully displays two medals he earned during the war. During the Second World War, Wintemute, then chief officer of the Number Seven Air Cadet Wing in Vancouver, took 150 cadets to Calgary. Both men say they wouldn’t trade their memories of the war for anything. “It was the greatest time of my life,’ said Caine. Both Caiae and Wintemute are members of West Vancouver Legion branch 60 and of the Air- crew Association of Vancouver's North Shore Branch.
