A year later No. 439 has come up with their first "top gun" when F/L Bill Norn was selected as a member of the Canadian Sabre team to compete against other NATO airforces in a trophy shoot at Cazean, France, in July 1958. The team concisted of F/Ls Norn, McGarva, and Henry, and F/Os Paul and Barker. They competed against teams from the Royal Air Force, the Royal Netherlands Air Force, the French Air Force and the Belgian Air Force. The RCAF won the competition by a substantial margin to set the stage for a four year domination of this annual event.
