Comment thread "A Brief History" for Point Petre Helipad

Also known as Point Peter to the locals, this location is the MACS (Military Aeronautical Communications System) Trenton HF radio transmitter site. Originally a range for the Bombing and Gunnery school at Picton, the site was also the launch pad for the Avro Arrow test models.

Reply to @prattsoplenty: I grew up in Kingston, which isn't quite local, but I've always pronounced this as "point PEA-tree".

Reply to @david: Those who grew up in the "County" call it Point Peter or simply the Point.
