In January 1956 S/L Belleau was transferred back to Canada and S/L Fisher became O.C. of the Squadron. The last refitting with new aircraft had been completed in July, when the Mark Vs were replaced with Sabre Mark VIs. These new aircraft were more powerful, had slatted wings, and at that time were the best day-fighters in the world.
